What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Ohio licenses reinsurance intermediaries — both intermediary-brokers and intermediary-managers — through the Department of Insurance under the reinsurance intermediary provisions of ORC Chapter 3905 and the superintendent's rules. A reinsurance intermediary-manager has authority to bind or manage a reinsurer's assumed reinsurance business, which is exactly why the state wants a financial backstop.
As part of licensing, the Department asks for a $50,000 surety bond for the protection of the reinsurer the intermediary serves, together with errors-and-omissions coverage. The bond is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and the reinsurer / Department as the protected parties.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and your license is at risk — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $50,000 filing continuous. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
