What Is Fidelity and Surety Bonding?

Fidelity and surety bonding is an area of insurance whereby one party is insuring itself against the risk that another party will fail to complete an act or refrain from doing something it promised not to do. Surety bonding refers to bonds that involve three separate parties, while fidelity bonds are insurance policies that can involve just two parties.

The AFSB designation signifies that an individual working in this field has attained comprehensive knowledge of both contract and non-contract surety.
