How Does a Consumer Discount Company Bond Work?

By purchasing this type of surety bond, you enter a legally-binding contract between three parties:

  1. Principal: You, the consumer discount company owner applying for a license
  2. Obligee: The Pennsylvania Department of State requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing the bond

If your business violates lending laws or fails to fulfill contractual obligations, harmed parties can file a claim against the bond. 

The surety will cover valid claims up to the $5,000 bond amount, but the business must reimburse the surety.
