Built to get the instrument reissued.
The bank, transfer agent, or maker usually conditions reissue on a bond. Here is how the bond side works:
Apply with the instrument details
Tell us what was lost — the issuer, the type of instrument, and its face value. That value drives the penal sum, often a closed penalty.
A specialist underwrites and quotes
A surety underwriter reviews the instrument, its value, and the applicant. The value sets the penal sum; underwriting sets the premium and any collateral.
Execute and reissue
Sign, post any required collateral, and deliver the executed bond to the issuer so it can reissue the check, note, or certificate to you.
What it is and who needs it.
Why the issuer wants a bond
When a negotiable instrument — a cashier’s check, a stock or bond certificate, a promissory note — is lost, destroyed, or stolen, the issuer faces a problem: if it simply reissues, it could end up paying twice if the original later surfaces in the hands of a holder.
A lost instrument bond solves that. It indemnifies the issuer — the bank, transfer agent, or maker — so that if the original is presented and the issuer has to honor it, the surety makes the issuer whole. That assurance is what lets the issuer reissue to you.
The penal sum follows the value of the instrument, often as a closed penalty, so the amount is not a flat figure. These bonds are underwritten and may be collateralized on higher values — not instant. We size to the instrument, underwrite the applicant, and quote it.
