FastBond

Quick...Easy...Flexible

Secure your bid and performance bonds in minutes!

Designed for small and emerging contractors, the underwriting of our FastBond program is primarily credit based. This allows for quick processing of the bond with little underwriting information.

Old Republic Surety's FastBond program targets fast turn projects for all construction trades, so long term obligations such as service contracts are underwritten outside of the program. In addition to credit history, our underwriting relies heavily on the agent’s knowledge and recommendation of the contractor.

  • New streamlined, easy to use application
  • DocuSign electronic signatures accepted for FastBond Indemnity Agreement
  • Licensed in all 50 states
  • Flexible approach
  • All construction trades considered
  • Immediate response
