Answers
What is
Internet bONdLINE?
Internet
bONdLINE is a password protected, web-based application that automates
and streamlines the issuance and reporting of commercial and fidelity
bonds. Our Internet bONdLINE system provides direct access to an extensive
forms library of the most common commercial and fidelity bond forms, offers
single-screen data entry, and produces high-quality bond forms direct
from your printer. Data is automatically captured for easy electronic
reporting.

How does
Internet bONdLINE work? Will a bond print every time? What authority does
an agent have to issue bonds?
Internet bONdLINE
is designed to issue small, transactional surety and fidelity bonds with
limited underwriting information. When an agent is given Internet access,
they are also provided with bond-issuing authority online. The application
verifies the necessary bond data is completed on the online application
and the bond penalty is within the agent's authority. If the data and
authority are complete, a fully executed bond is returned to the agent
within seconds.
If
the agent is requesting a bond for a penalty amount that exceeds their
bond-issuing authority, the bond data will route to CNA Surety's Underwriting
Department.
 If
the bond is approved, it is attached to an e-mail and sent back to the
agent as an electronic bond ready to print.
If
the bond is declined, a message is sent to the agent immediately.
If
we are not able to electronically print the required bond, the bond is
issued from one of the CNA Surety locations and we provide the agent with
the option to have it returned by overnight mail or by regular mail.
