How Does a Hawaii Small Dollar Installment Loan Bond Work?
As with all surety bonds, a small dollar installment lender bond creates a legal contract between three parties:
- Principal: You, the installment lender filing the bond
- Obligee: The Hawaii Division of Financial Institutions requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of Act 56, Session Laws of Hawaii 2021.
If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you are ultimately responsible for refunding the surety.
How Do I Renew My Bond?
These bonds expire annually. To renew your small dollar installment lender bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted.
We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
