How does a California Finance Lender and Finance Broker Bond work?
A surety bond is a three-party agreement.
- Principal – finance lender or finance broker
- Obligee – State of California
- Surety – the party who will issue the bond
The Principal and the Surety will partner in assuring the performance of the former to the Obligee. The Principal is primarily responsible for the fulfillment of the obligations required by the Obligee. If the Principal fails to do any of the bonded obligations required by the relevant laws, rules, and regulations, the Obligee can file a bond claim.
The claim will first be verified by the Surety before it is settled. Once the Surety has settled the claim, the Principal will reimburse the Surety for the payments made.
