Learn More About Insurance Broker Bonds
An insurance broker surety bond ensures insurance professionals fulfill their duties ethically and according to the laws of their city and state. In most cases, an insurance broker must file proof of a surety bond before he or she can obtain a business license. The exact obligations an insurance broker is expected to fulfill under a bond’s terms varies by state. However, most insurance broker bonds allow harmed parties to file a claim against the bond if an insurance broker commits any of the following wrongdoings:
- Using inflated or false quotes to increase profit
- Coercing consumers into purchasing inappropriate insurance products
- Encouraging customers to misrepresent themselves or their financial situation on insurance applications
If a claim is filed and proven to be valid, the claimant can be reimbursed for financial losses and other consequences. In some situations, the larger insurance company that a broker represents is guaranteed payment for its products. As with all contracts, you should fully understand the terms you’re agreeing to before purchasing and signing a bond.
