Surety Corporation of America

What Surety Corporation of America does

Surety Corporation of America is a privately held Florida-based company founded in 1960 that operates in the surety and bail-bonding space. Its consumer-facing business, BailBonds.Com, is branded as "America's largest network of bail bond agents and criminal defense attorneys," offering 24/7 bail-bond referral and underwriting across all U.S. states and bond types (misdemeanor, felony, federal, immigration, and specialty categories), with inbound handled through a centralized live-agent call center (855-224-5266). The firm employs between 251 and 500 people and operates adjacent assets including a Bail Bond School and a Bondsman Forum hosted at bailbonding.com, supporting agent recruitment and training alongside consumer lead capture.

The company's product set centers on surety underwriting and bail-bond agency services. Bail-bond pricing is governed by state regulation (typically a percentage of the bond amount set by law), and Surety Corp.'s role is to aggregate demand and route it to licensed local agents who then post the bond at the relevant jail. Beyond the U.S. bail-bond core, the firm has extended into international insurance distribution: in 2026 it entered a partnership with MAXIM Rides & Food Delivery and Bethel General Insurance to provide personal accident insurance coverage for ride-hailing and food-delivery driver-partners and passengers across the Philippines. Under that arrangement, Maxim fully covers insurance costs for motorcycle driver-partners and subsidizes approximately 20 percent of costs for car driver-partners, with Maxim handling all administrative processes to drive enrollment.

Commercially, Surety Corporation of America monetizes via commission-based bail-bond referral/underwriting in the U.S. (no public pricing disclosed) and via the structure of its Philippine insurance partnership, where it acts as a distribution and underwriting partner rather than a direct consumer brand. The company is private, has no disclosed parent or institutional investors, and reports no revenue, funding rounds, M&A, or leadership changes in the input data; the relationship between the U.S. bail operations (which appear in website copy under RNE LLC copyright) and the Philippine insurance partnership is not explicitly described in the source material.
