How Does an Alaska Registered Depository Institution Bond Work?
A registered depository institution bond creates a legal contract between these three parties:
- Principal: You, the registered depository institution filing the bond
- Obligee: The Alaska Department of Commerce requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of Alaska Statutes 06.60.014.
If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you must ultimately refund the surety.
How Do I Renew My Bond?
These bonds expire annually. To renew your registered depository institution bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted.
We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
