How does a California Deferred Deposit Transaction Law License Bond work?
This bond is a legally binding contract among three parties:
- Principal – Deferred deposit transactions license applicant
- Obligee – Commissioner of Business Oversight of the State of California

In the event of a default committed by the Principal, the Surety will conduct an investigation regarding the claim filed by an Obligee. If the claim is valid, the Surety will pay the Obligee; however, the Principal must reimburse the Surety after the payment has been made.
