Unfortunately the mail and delivery services are not perfect. Checks and other valuable instruments can be lost. A lost check bond is a quick, simple solution to obtaining a replacement item from a bank or financial institution. When a bank issues a certified monetary instrument it can immediately be negotiated for products or services. If the bank issues a second check then potentially both instruments could be redeemed caused the bank to suffer a loss. A lost check bond acts as security of the bank in case the lost instrument is found and cashed or an innocent third party has accepted it for payment.
Lost instrument bonds may be written as fixed penalty bonds (written in a fixed amount) or open penalty bonds. Fixed penalty obligations are generally used when replacing a certified checks, money orders or liquidated securities that are held by a state treasurer's unclaimed property office.
