How Does a Precious Metals Dealer Bond Work? 

An Ohio precious metals dealer bond offers financial recourse for any customers harmed by a fraudulent dealer. The bond contract involves three parties:

  1. Principal: The precious metals dealer filing the bond
  2. Obligee: The Ohio Division of Financial Institutions requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

If you, as the principal, commit fraud, theft or otherwise break license regulations, the surety will compensate harmed parties. However, it’s important to avoid bond claims because you have to repay the surety in full.
