Why do I need this bond?

Motor vehicle sales finance company bonds are required of any individuals or businesses who sell motor vehicles and offer installment payment plans in Pennsylvania. These bonds ensure that the principal (company) adheres to the stipulations of the Motor Vehicle Sales Finance Act. If the company fails to comply with these terms, a claim can be filed against the bond. If the claim is validated, the bond protects any harmed parties from financial loss.

What’s the fine print?

Motor vehicle finance bonds are continuously effective until canceled. If the surety chooses to cancel the bond, the cancellation becomes effective 30 days after receipt of notification by the Secretary of Banking or their representatives.

This bond is conditioned so that clients and the Department alike can file claims against the principal in the case of damages. Regardless of the number of years the bond runs for, no claim can exceed the penal sum of $10,000.
