Wyoming service contract provider bonds.

A surety bond is an accepted form of the financial security deposit in trust with the commissioner: 5% of gross consideration received, less claims paid, never less than $25,000 (W.S. § 26-49-103). Premiums cost 0.5% of the bond amount.

What it is and who needs it.
What the provider deposit actually guarantees
A service contract is an agreement to repair, replace, or maintain a product for a term and for a separate charge — a vehicle service contract, a home warranty, an appliance or electronics protection plan. The provider is the party contractually obligated to the contract holder, and Wyoming regulates providers under W.S. § 26-49-101 et seq. rather than licensing them as insurers. Every provider selling into Wyoming registers with the Department of Insurance before it markets a contract here.
The chapter’s core requirement is financial responsibility, and W.S. § 26-49-103 gives three ways to satisfy it. A provider can insure all of its Wyoming service contracts under a reimbursement insurance policy. It can maintain a funded reserve of at least 40% of gross consideration received, less claims paid, on all in-force contracts and place a financial security deposit in trust with the commissioner worth at least 5% of that same figure, never less than $25,000. Or it can show a net worth of at least $100,000,000 for itself or for a parent company that guarantees its Wyoming obligations.
This bond is the deposit half of the second route. The statute accepts four forms — a surety bond issued by an authorized surety, securities of the type eligible for deposit by authorized insurers in Wyoming, cash, or a letter of credit from a qualified financial institution — and the bond is the only one that does not tie up real money. It stands behind your obligation to perform the contracts you sold. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays, you repay the surety. And because the deposit tracks a percentage of gross consideration, recheck the figure every renewal as your Wyoming book grows.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Department of Insurance. Submit the executed bond with your provider registration or renewal through the Department’s filing portal. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Department insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
