What is this bond?

The North Carolina Collection Agency Foreign Bond is a surety bond that guarantees an out-of-state collection agency will operate ethically and in accordance with state laws. It ensures that funds collected on behalf of clients are properly accounted for and remitted. This bond serves as a financial safeguard for consumers and the state against unlawful collection practices.

Who needs it?

This bond is generally required for collection agencies, debt buyers, and similar businesses that are headquartered outside of North Carolina but collect debts from residents within the state. Any out-of-state entity seeking a collection agency license in North Carolina typically must secure this specific foreign bond.

Why is it required?
