Why is an Earned Wage Access Surety Bond Required?

Like with any surety bond, an earned wage access surety bond is required to help the state prevent fraud committed by licensed earned wage access providers.

When you get your license, it's a signal to the public that you are a qualified provider of earned wage access services.

The state license department can't police every business they're issuing licenses to, so they use the surety bond as the financial tool to hold all licensed businesses accountable to the law.

Examples of earned wage access fraud can include:

  • Charging hidden or excessive fees
  • Reporting to credit bureaus when they're not supposed to
  • Advancing funds that have not been fully earned yet
  • Plus a lot more

If a company who utilizes these services is financially harmed by fraudulent actions, one of the actions they can take is making a claim against the surety bond.

It's important to realize this claim can only be up to the bond amount required in your state.

How Much Does an Earned Wage Access Surety Cost?

Earned wage access surety bonds are custom priced bonds.

This means the personal credit of you and any other owner will be a primary factor that determines the price you pay for your bond.

Other factors will include:

  • Experience in the financial industry
  • The bond history if you or another owner has licensed in the past

From these factors a rate will be quoted and this rate multiplied by your bond amount will be the price you pay per bond term.
