Underwriting and Service Approach
What makes Lexington National different from other sureties?
We are approachable, flexible, and relationship focused. Our underwriters are empowered to make decisions quickly and work directly with producers to find practical solutions. We believe in partnership over paperwork.
What information is required to underwrite a commercial surety bond?
For most bonds, we require a completed application, financial statement, and supporting documentation relevant to the bond type (such as license details or court orders). We scale our underwriting to match the bond size and risk keeping small bonds simple.
Does Lexington National use credit-based underwriting?
Yes. For smaller bonds, we often use credit-based underwriting to expedite approvals. Larger or higher risk obligations may require additional financial or operational information.
Can Lexington National assist with harder to place risks?
Yes. We’re open to creative underwriting and will consider collateral, indemnity enhancements, or co-principal arrangements to support accounts that fall outside traditional guidelines.
How quickly can Lexington National respond to a bond request?
Very quickly. Most small commercial bonds can be approved the same day. For larger or more complex risks, turn around is typically within 24-48 hours once all necessary information is received.
Producer Partnerships
What does Lexington National look for in a commercial surety producer?
We seek experienced, reputable producers who value accessibility and integrity. Our best relationships are with agents who understand their clients’ businesses and share our commitment to service and compliance.
Does Lexington National offer online bond issuance or portals?
Yes. We provide streamlined submission and issuance options for many standard commercial bonds, allowing producers to quote and issue bonds quickly. Our team also offers personalized assistance for specialty or non-standard requests.
Can producers obtain authority to issue bonds directly?
Qualified agencies may be granted limited bond authority based on experience, underwriting controls, and production volume. We work collaboratively to structure authority agreements that meet agency needs while maintaining underwriting discipline.
