Tokio Marine HCC Surety Group

What Tokio Marine HCC Surety Group does

Tokio Marine HCC Surety Group is a US-based surety underwriter that operates as a specialized division of Tokio Marine HCC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tokio Marine Group (TSE: 8766). Founded in 1974 and headquartered in Los Angeles, the group underwrites surety bonds across six core segments: contract performance and payment bonds for contractors, commercial license/permit and miscellaneous bonds, court judicial/probate/fiduciary bonds, customs and transportation bonds, energy bonds (operator, supplemental, right-of-way), and large national commercial surety with $50M in single-account capacity. Underwriting is conducted through four wholly-owned carriers: American Contractors Indemnity Company, Texas Bonding Company, United States Surety Company, and U.S. Specialty Insurance Company.

The group distributes exclusively through independent insurance agents and brokers, with a state-appointment process managed by its Agency Service Center. It complements that channel with digital self-service tools — a Surety Online portal for bond management, a Bond Renewal Portal with integrated premium finance, and a Bond Validation System — and supports a 13-office regional footprint across the United States. Revenue is generated through surety bond premiums underwritten across the six product lines, with a dedicated field-sales division handling large national commercial accounts. The company is private, with 501-1,000 employees, and serves contractors, commercial businesses, legal/estate professionals, customs brokers, energy operators, and large enterprises.
