You provide commercial surety as a service to your existing accounts but typically the penal sums are low and it’s expensive to maintain in-house expertise for this specialized business. Every time you process a surety bond by hand, you lose money.

With FLEX for Surety Bonds™, you can turn your cost center into a profit center. FLEX automates the application and issuance process while maintaining rating and service consistency so you can transact more surety business with a positive return on your investment.

FLEX for Surety Bonds uses standardized, government-issued bond forms and issues continuation, endorsement, and cancellation certificates to manage your bonds throughout their lifecycle. FLEX also provides:

  • French and English
  • CARM integration
  • Immediate issuance
  • Detailed instruction sheets
  • Bond searching and filtering
  • Obligee management
  • Single or multi-year bonds
  • Specimen copies

Accelerate your CARM-readiness with FLEX! Call us to find out how we can help you register your Canadian customs bonds electronically with CBSA’s new CARM system.
