The State of Florida Department of Banking and Finance requires credit service organizations to furnish a surety bond in the amount of $10,000. The bond is required if the principal (the credit services organization) wishes to charge or receive compensation for their services before completion. Not only is a surety bond required, but according to Chapter 817.7005 of the 2021 Florida Statutes, a trust account must also be established at a federally insured bank or a savings and loan association located in Florida.
A credit service organization bond remains in full effect until it is canceled. The surety company may cancel the bonds within 30 days of written notice. These Florida bonds renew every year and are subject to a soft credit pull before a renewal fee.
