Everything a Contractor Needs to Bond - and Bid - Faster.
Surety2000 removes every friction point in the bonding process — from execution to delivery to verification.
Work with your Bond Agent
Your bond agent can issue eBonds through Surety2000.
No need to switch agents — just switch to a faster process.
Bonds Issued in Minutes
Once your bonding agent approves, your eBond is issued and delivered instantly — no waiting, no couriers, no lost mail.
Accepted by Public Agencies
Surety2000 eBonds are accepted by public agencies in all 50 states across the U.S.: bid bonds, payment & performance bonds, and more.
Integrated with Bid Platforms
eBonds can be submitted to any bid platform using either the verified integration or file upload, with no need to send the paper version - period.
Fewer Errors, Fewer Rejections
Digital workflows eliminate transcription errors that invalidate paper bonds. Your submissions go through right the first time.
Pre-Vetted Network
Every surety company, bonding agent, and attorney-in-fact on Surety2000 is authenticated before they can issue a bond. Trust is built in — not assumed.
The Risk Of Paper Bonds
A bond is meant to reduce risk.
Why accept one that introduces more?
More friction in the bid process means more risk of losing the bid. When a big job is on the line, uncertainty is not an option.
Delays
Paper bonds can take hours to produce, ship, and process. Missed deadlines mean missed bids — and lost revenue.
Errors and Rework
A typo on a paper bond can invalidate your submission. Corrections mean re-printing, re-signing, and re-delivering.
Lost Documents
Paper bonds get lost in the mail, misfiled at agencies, or damaged in transit — any of which can disqualify your bid.
There's a better way.
Zero paper. Greater speed. Stronger security.
