Frequent Questions

What is the process?

Apply online, get an approval, provide payment and we will ship the employee dishonesty bond form and policies out to you.

How do I know if I need this bond?

It is optional. However, without an employee dishonesty bond or other coverage, you have no protection from fraudulent acts by your own employees.

Is credit checked for these bonds?

Yes. All money handlers must have their credit checked. If an individual has bad credit, it will prevent them from being bonded. However, individuals with credit issues can simply be excluded from the bond.

Where can I get a bond form?

We have the bond forms on file which we will provide when you apply.

What should I do if there is a false claim?

You will be contacted by the bond company who wrote your bond, and it is very important that you respond as soon as possible. You will then have the chance to refute any false claim and discuss the matter with the claims representative to prove that the claim is false.
