What is Internet bONdLINE? Internet bONdLINE is a password protected, web-based application that automates and streamlines the issuance and reporting of surety, fidelity and contract bonds. Our Internet bONdLINE system provides direct access to an extensive forms library of the most common bond forms, offers single-screen data entry, and produces high-quality bond forms direct from your printer. Data is automatically captured for easy electronic reporting.

How does Internet bONdLINE work? Will a bond print every time? What authority does an agent have to issue bonds? Internet bONdLINE is designed to issue small, transactional surety and fidelity bonds with limited underwriting information. When an agent is given Internet access, they are also provided with bond-issuing authority online. The application verifies the necessary bond data is completed on the online application and the bond penalty is within the agent's authority. If the data and authority are complete, a fully executed bond is returned to the agent within seconds.

If the agent is requesting a bond for a penalty amount that exceeds their bond-issuing authority, the bond data will route to CNA Surety's Underwriting Department.

• If the bond is approved, you will be notified by email and will be able to print the bond in your office.
• If the bond is declined, a message is sent to the agent immediately.
• If we are not able to electronically print the required bond, the bond is issued from one of the CNA Surety locations and we provide the agent with the option to have it returned by overnight mail or by regular mail.

I am an agent with Internet bONdLINE (IBL) and I am also enrolled in your Direct Bill program. If I issue a bond on IBL and I uncheck the Direct Bill box on IBL for the bond, will the bond be agency billed for future renewals? Yes, if you are enrolled in our Direct Bill program and if you uncheck the Direct Bill box on IBL, the bond will not be direct billed for future renewals and instead, your agency will be responsible for billing the future renewals of the bond.
