Bond-Pro And Surety2000 Partner To Revolutionize The Issuance of Electronic Surety Bonds
Leading InsurTechs Integrate Their Respective Best-of-Breed Software Products to Achieve Total Digitalization of the Surety Bond Life Cycle
TAMPA, Fla. and KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Bond-Pro, the leading provider of Surety and Specialty Insurance software products, and Surety2000, the industry standard in Electronic Surety, announced today an agreement to seamlessly integrate Bond-Pro's Next Gen® Surety automation software directly to Surety2000's Electronic Surety platform. The combination enables insurance professionals to quickly process, underwrite, quote, decision, and generate Surety bond documents in Bond-Pro. Then securely authorize, affix a digital corporate seal, and instantly attach an electronic power of attorney maintained in Surety2000 all from directly within the Bond-Pro system. Bond documents can also be routed to obtain additional digital signatures from principals and indemnitors (commonly construction companies). Ultimately, tamper proof documents, digitally signed, and electronically filed in Surety2000 are automatically stored in Bond-Pro and properly distributed via automated workflows.
Surety Bonds are three party agreements guaranteed by Insurers historically using paper documents endorsed using raised seals and wet signatures. Obligees (commonly government entities), who require a Surety Bond from an insured, have been slow to adopt alternative methods of authenticity particularly for high risk and high dollar amount bonds. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it was extremely difficult for insurance professionals to physically gather the in-person signatures necessary to bind a Surety bond. This exposed serious business continuity challenges for government as well as the insurance and construction industries.
"Our electronic surety platform was first to market over 20 years ago. It is widely used by Surety professionals to submit bonds to Obligees who require electronic filing. But also utilized to electronically execute a broad variety of bonds." said Joseph Sforzo Sr., President of Surety2000. "This alliance benefits to our mutual customers. Bond-Pro is the de facto standard software solution for managing and automating the entire life cycle of a Surety book of business. The integration of Surety2000 and Bond-Pro truly enables end-to-end digital bond issuance and will accelerate the proliferation of Electronic Surety."
"In addition to solving the problems precipitated by the pandemic, the demand for electronic bond issuance has increased as result of the desire to automate the straight through processing of a multitude of bonds." said Frederick Duguay, Bond-Pro CEO. "Surety2000 provides complementary functionality and further achieves our corporate mission of building a seamlessly interconnected B2B ecosystem of Surety carriers, brokers, and agents that enables them to respond faster, reduce costs, eliminate repetitive entry, mitigate risk, and achieve compliance."
