Common Sense Underwriting - First Class Experiences 

Merchants Bonding Company specializes in contract and commercial surety bonds, with an “A” (Excellent) or higher rating from AM Best since 1958.  Established in 1933, 2023 marks our 90th anniversary. We are proudly celebrating our past, and excitedly embarking on our future, guided by a bold new purpose; to be the most trusted team in surety with a courageous culture. 

We reached this milestone by saying Yes, to the best, and will continue to say yes to the best agents, accounts, and associates who are the core of our strong and vibrant culture.

Merchants Bonding Company is among the top 15 largest surety writers in the United States, with 90 years of consistency, common sense underwriting and first-class customer service. Merchants' nearly exclusive focus on surety makes us unique in the industry. Unlike other insurance companies with multiple lines of business, Merchants has honed its expertise in contract and commercial surety bonding.

Merchants underwriting distinguishes itself from the competition by treating each account as unique.  Merchants considers both business and personal net worth to create what we call common sense underwriting.  Common Sense Underwriting is the foundation of our brand promise to our agents, agencies and principals.

We invite you to celebrate our 90th anniversary with us, and experience for yourself the Merchants Difference.
