About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the sales finance bond covers

Nebraska folds retail installment sales financing into the Nebraska Installment Loan and Sales Act, Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 45-334 to 45-380, administered by the Department of Banking and Finance. A company that acquires, holds, or services retail installment contracts — car paper, consumer goods contracts, and the like — licenses under the Act and files a surety bond of $50,000, plus an additional $50,000 for each licensed branch location.

The bond is for the use of the State of Nebraska and any Nebraska resident who may have claims or causes of action against the licensee. It backs the Act’s conduct rules for installment paper — the time-price differential limits, permitted charges, disclosure, and refund-on-prepayment requirements that protect the buyer on the other end of the contract. The surety may cancel only on thirty days’ prior written notice to the Director.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond has to stay continuously on file for the life of the license, so we track the term and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.

Neb. Rev. Stat. § 45-338 (Nebraska Installment Loan and Sales Act)Section 45-338(1) provides that an applicant for a license to be issued pursuant to the Nebraska Installment Loan and Sales Act shall file with the department a surety bond in the amount of fifty thousand dollars, furnished by a surety company authorized to do business in this state, increased by an additional fifty thousand dollars for each branch location of the applicant that is licensed under the Act. The bond is for the use of the State of Nebraska and any Nebraska resident who may have claims or causes of action against the applicant, and the surety may cancel the bond only upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the director. Confirm your required amount with the Department of Banking and Finance.
