About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the MGA bond actually guarantees

A managing general agent handles binding authority, underwriting, and sometimes claims on behalf of an insurer. New Jersey regulates MGAs under N.J.S.A. 17:22B-1 et seq. and conditions the relationship on a surety bond for the protection of the insurers the MGA represents.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State together with the represented insurers (the protected parties). If an MGA mishandles funds, misrepresents contracts, or violates New Jersey insurance law, the harmed party can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.

The bond is generally $25,000. Filing requirements and amounts can vary with the MGA relationship, so we default to $25,000 and let you enter a higher figure if your DOBI filing or appointing insurer requires one. We issue at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the New Jersey MGA bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The bond is generally $25,000, so the premium is usually $750. Enter your required amount and the quote updates.
Do I pay the bond amount? +
No. You pay the 3% premium — $750 on a $25,000 bond. The bond amount is the surety’s maximum liability if a valid claim is made; it’s not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond? +

Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It informs approval, not price. The rate is a flat 3% either way.
What amount should I choose if I’m not sure? +
Start with $25,000 — the general figure for New Jersey MGAs. If your DOBI filing or appointing insurer specifies a different amount, enter that instead, or send it to us and we’ll confirm before issuing.
