[Human-readable page](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/usi/surety-bonds) # USI Insurance Services Surety Bonds USI Surety Bond — Contract, Commercial and International Surety USI is a surety bond broker, not a surety. It says it is one of the leading domestic and international surety brokers and negotiates bonding capacity and terms with surety underwriters on a client's behalf. [1](https://www.usi.com/property-casualty/surety-bond/ "Surety Bond-Contract, Commercial and International Surety Bonds") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Surety Bond practice page.) ## Issuing Insurer - **Not publicly disclosed.** USI does not name surety companies on its practice page; it describes placing bonds through its surety-market relationships rather than a fixed panel. [1](https://www.usi.com/property-casualty/surety-bond/ "Surety Bond-Contract, Commercial and International Surety Bonds") (Scope: Page as read on 2026-09-23.) ## Who It’s For - USI says its surety practice has a long history serving general contractors, trade contractors, highway/heavy construction projects, construction managers, developers and design-builders in the public and private sectors, and that its surety network also has experience outside construction. [1](https://www.usi.com/property-casualty/surety-bond/ "Surety Bond-Contract, Commercial and International Surety Bonds") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Company description of client base.) ## Coverage Features - USI lists bid bonds, performance and payment bonds (domestic and international), established surety programs, commercial surety and financial obligations, and subcontractor default insurance among its construction and surety products. [1](https://www.usi.com/property-casualty/surety-bond/ "Surety Bond-Contract, Commercial and International Surety Bonds") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Practice page product list; actual bond forms and terms are set by the surety and obligee.) ## Limits and Retentions - **Not publicly disclosed.** USI does not publish standard bonding-capacity figures; it cites individual case studies (a general contractor's bonding limits supporting a $10,000,000 revenue increase, and a mechanical contractor whose surety line supported $110,000,000 in revenue) rather than a general limit range. [1](https://www.usi.com/property-casualty/surety-bond/ "Surety Bond-Contract, Commercial and International Surety Bonds") (Scope: Case-study figures on the page are specific to those named accounts, not a published capacity table.) ## Risk Services - USI describes a proprietary bond submission process that summarizes a client's underwriting and operational information alongside its own analysis and recommendations, and says its surety professionals help clients present their financials to the surety market and negotiate terms. [1](https://www.usi.com/property-casualty/surety-bond/ "Surety Bond-Contract, Commercial and International Surety Bonds") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Company description of its submission methodology.) ## How to Apply - USI directs contractors and other prospective surety clients to email pcinquiries@usi.com or contact a local USI office. [1](https://www.usi.com/property-casualty/surety-bond/ "Surety Bond-Contract, Commercial and International Surety Bonds") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Contact instructions on the Surety Bond practice page.) ## USI Insurance Services Surety Bonds Compared - [USI Insurance Services vs Chubb](https://spot.insure/compare/chubb-vs-usi/surety-bonds) - [USI Insurance Services vs Coverdash](https://spot.insure/compare/coverdash-vs-usi/surety-bonds) - [USI Insurance Services vs Embroker](https://spot.insure/compare/embroker-vs-usi/surety-bonds) - [USI Insurance Services vs Gallagher](https://spot.insure/compare/gallagher-vs-usi/surety-bonds) - [USI Insurance Services vs Harper](https://spot.insure/compare/harper-vs-usi/surety-bonds) - [USI Insurance Services vs Heffernan Insurance Brokers](https://spot.insure/compare/heffernan-vs-usi/surety-bonds) ## Other USI Insurance Services Coverage Lines - [USI Insurance Services Commercial Property Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/usi/commercial-property) - [USI Insurance Services Crime Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/usi/crime) - [USI Insurance Services Cyber Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/usi/cyber) - [USI Insurance Services D&O Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/usi/directors-officers) - [USI Insurance Services Employee Health Benefits](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/usi/employee-health-benefits) - [USI Insurance Services Employment Practices Liability Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/usi/employment-practices) - [USI Insurance Services Fiduciary Liability Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/usi/fiduciary) - [USI Insurance Services Management Liability Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/usi/management-liability) - [USI Insurance Services Medical Malpractice Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/usi/medical-malpractice) - [USI Insurance Services Professional Liability (E&O) Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/usi/professional-errors-omissions) - [USI Insurance Services Representations and Warranties Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/usi/representations-warranties) - [USI Insurance Services Workers’ Compensation Insurance](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/usi/workers-compensation) ## Related - [USI Insurance Services Profile](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/usi) - [USI Insurance Services Reliability](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/usi/reliability) - [USI Insurance Services Alternatives](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/usi/alternatives) - [Coverage Guide: Surety bonds](https://spot.insure/coverage/surety-bonds) ## Sources 1.
