The rate charged by a bail agency is called a "Premium." The premium charged by A To Z Bail Bonds is 10% of the full amount of the bail bond, plus a $10.00 service fee. For example; if the bail required to have a inmate released from jail is $1,000.00, then the premium is $110.00: ($1,000.00 x 10%= $100.00 +$10.00). The premium charged for an Immigration Bond is 12%. Premium payment may be paid by, but not limited to: credit card(s), Western Union, wire transfer, cash and checks.

We also offer EasyBail premium financing, on approved credit.

In some cases A To Z Bail Bonds requires security for the bail bond in addition to the premium. The security used to guarantee a bail bond is called "collateral."

Since A To Z Bail Bonds is posting the full amount of the bail, we may require some form of security to guarantee that we will not have a financial loss in the event the person released from custody on bail, fails to appear in court. This security, called the "collateral," can be almost anything of value that can easily be secured. Often a simple signature by a qualified indemnitor is sufficient to secure a bail transaction. In other circumstances we may require some type of collateral that is equal to the bail amount. The type and amount of collateral required, is determined on a case by case basis. For example, we have accepted: real property, unimproved land, agricultural land, vehicle titles (pink slips), jewelry, cash, letters of credit, credit cards, personal items, business equipment, etc.

The best way to qualify collateral for a bail bond is to email us with the bail amount and the collateral you wish to deposit or call us at 1-800-619-BAIL.
