OH reinsurance intermediary bonds.
$1,500 flat. Five minutes.
The Ohio Department of Insurance asks a reinsurance intermediary to file a $50,000 bond (alongside errors-and-omissions coverage) to get licensed. Ours is $1,500 flat — 3% of the bond amount, the same for every applicant. License bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Ohio licenses reinsurance intermediaries — both intermediary-brokers and intermediary-managers — through the Department of Insurance under the reinsurance intermediary provisions of ORC Chapter 3905 and the superintendent's rules. A reinsurance intermediary-manager has authority to bind or manage a reinsurer's assumed reinsurance business, which is exactly why the state wants a financial backstop.
As part of licensing, the Department asks for a $50,000 surety bond for the protection of the reinsurer the intermediary serves, together with errors-and-omissions coverage. The bond is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and the reinsurer / Department as the protected parties.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and your license is at risk — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $50,000 filing continuous. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
