How Does an Ohio Third-Party Processing Company Bond Work?
A third-party processing and/or underwriting company bond creates a legal contract between these three parties:
- Principal: The third-party processing and/or underwriting company owners filing the bond
- Obligee: The Ohio Division of Financial Institutions requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for upholding Utah license laws and regulations.
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 third-party processing and/or underwriting company bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted.
We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
