How Does a Kansas CSO License Bond Work?
A CSO license bond creates a legal contract between these three parties:
- Principal: You, the CSO owner filing the bond
- Obligee: The Kansas Office of the State Bank Commissioner requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of KS Stat § 50-1121.
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.
