Its Purpose

The purpose of your flexible credit lender surety bond is a financial guarantee that you will be in compliance with the state’s Flexible Credit Lender Act, and any amendments or additions to the same.

This surety bond protects consumers from any violations of the law on the part of a flexible credit lender and allows such persons to file a claim against your bond.

As the principal of this surety bond, you are agreeing to indemnify the surety for any claims paid; however, you are liable for no more than the aggregate sum of your bond, not including any additional costs and fees.
