Overview
New Jersey employers who put workers in contact with cash, valuables, or client property carry a real exposure: employee theft. A Dishonesty Bond shifts that financial risk, reimbursing your business when a covered employee steals, embezzles, or commits an act of fraud. This one-year term bond is a practical tool for businesses that want documented protection — and for clients who demand proof of it before they sign a contract. Buy it once, keep it current, and work with confidence.
Who Needs This Bond?
You run a New Jersey business and at least one employee has unsupervised access to money, merchandise, client accounts, or property that isn't yours. That's the situation this bond addresses. Retailers, staffing firms, property managers, financial service offices, and any employer with cash-handling staff are exactly the type of businesses that carry a Dishonesty Bond. If a client contract or vendor agreement has asked you to show proof of fidelity coverage, this is the bond that satisfies that requirement.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects your business — not your employees — against direct financial loss caused by a dishonest act committed by one of your workers. If an employee steals from the company register, diverts a client payment, or embezzles from your accounts, the bond provides a mechanism for recovery. It is not a state license requirement; it is a financial safeguard that keeps your business from absorbing the full cost of internal theft. The coverage runs for one year from the effective date.
When is it Required?
Have this bond in place before you start work for any client whose contract includes a fidelity or employee dishonesty requirement. Waiting until a loss has occurred — or until a client flags the gap during contract review — puts the deal and your business at risk. Many commercial clients in New Jersey will not allow your employees on-site or grant access to financial accounts without first seeing a current, valid Dishonesty Bond certificate. Get it before the engagement starts.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is issued for New Jersey operations and covers employee dishonesty occurring within the scope of your New Jersey business activities. It is a statewide bond, not tied to any single city, county, or municipality. If your business operates across multiple locations within New Jersey, the bond follows your employees wherever they work on your behalf in the state.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information do I need to have ready when I purchase the New Jersey Dishonesty Bond?
You'll typically need your business name, address, and contact information, along with the number of employees who will be covered under the bond. Have a general description of your business operations ready, as well as the bond amount required by your client contract or your own risk assessment. If a specific client or contract is driving the purchase, knowing the coverage amount they require before you start the application will speed things up considerably.
What happens to my coverage if I hire new employees or reduce my headcount during the one-year term?
Employee count changes mid-term are common for growing or seasonal New Jersey businesses. If you add employees in roles that give them access to cash or client property, notify your bond provider promptly — your covered employee count may need to be updated to reflect the actual exposure. If your workforce shrinks, your coverage level should still match the risk your remaining employees represent. Address changes when they happen rather than waiting for renewal, so your protection stays accurate throughout the full term.
How do I use this bond as a selling point when bidding for a new commercial client in New Jersey?
Lead with it. When submitting a bid or proposal, include your Dishonesty Bond certificate as part of your credentials package alongside your insurance certificates. Commercial clients — especially property owners, office managers, and procurement teams — treat a current fidelity bond as evidence that you take accountability seriously and that they have a financial backstop if something goes wrong. Framing it as 'we carry a New Jersey Dishonesty Bond that protects you' is a straightforward differentiator from competitors who can't show the same documentation.
What happens after I click Buy This Bond Online?
You'll open the My Bond App portal in a new tab where you can complete the secure online bond application and finish your purchase. Your Bond Titan tab stays open so you can come back and keep browsing.
