What is the Nebraska collection agency bond? 

Nebraska Revised Statute 45-608 requires collection agency applicants file a surety bond in an amount based on the number of licensed solicitors they employ. 

  • less than 5 licensed employee solicitors: $5,000 bond amount
  • 5-15 licensed employee solicitors: $10,000 bond amount
  • 16 or more licensed employee solicitors: $15,000 bond amount

The state's bond form is officially titled “Surety Bond - Collection Agency License” but is for reference only as each collection agency's surety company will electronically file their official bond directly with the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System (NMLS).

Why is a Nebraska collection agency license bond required?

By filing a Nebraska debt collector bond, you agree to fulfill client agreements according to state law, which includes accurately reporting net proceeds of all collections made during the preceding calendar month within 45 days after the close of each calendar month. If you fail to do so, your issuing surety company will pay valid claims to harmed individuals up to your full bond amount, which you must reimburse. 

If you work as a debt collection agency in states other than Nebraska, we also offer collection agency bonds nationwide.
