The purpose of the Insurance Broker Surety Bond is to:
- Protect the state from financial losses: If an insurance broker engages in any illegal or fraudulent activities, the state of Arizona can file a claim against the bond. This can help to recoup any losses that the state has suffered as a result of the broker’s actions. If the surety company pays a claim on the bond, it will seek restitution from the bond principal (licensee).
- Protect consumers from financial losses: Consumers who have been harmed by an insurance broker’s actions can file a claim against the bond. This can help to recover any losses that they have suffered.
- Enhances the ethical standards of the insurance industry: By requiring insurance brokers to obtain a surety bond, the state of Arizona is sending a message that it is serious about enforcing insurance laws and regulations. This helps to create a more trustworthy environment for consumers.
