What it is and who needs it.
What the reinsurance intermediary bond covers
A reinsurance intermediary — a broker who arranges reinsurance cessions, or a manager who has binding authority over an insurer’s reinsurance — is licensed in the District through the Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking (DISB) under DC Code Chapter 31-18 (the Reinsurance Intermediaries provisions, §§ 31-1801 et seq.).
The bond is for the protection of the insurers the intermediary represents — it backs the intermediary’s handling of reinsurance funds and compliance with the law. DISB administratively requires reinsurance intermediary authorities to carry a $100,000 surety bond together with $1,000,000 in errors-and-omissions coverage.
The statute itself frames the bond as an amount acceptable to the regulator for the protection of the insurer, and DISB sets the operating figure. Because the amount is set by DISB rather than fixed in the chapter, enter the figure DISB gives you — commonly $100,000 — and we issue the bond from $100, with the application collecting no credit information.
