Payment
What forms of payment are accepted (Credit cards, debit cards, Venmo, PayPal, Apple Pay, Cash App, Zelle)?
What do I need to qualify to bail someone out of jail?
To bail someone out of jail, a cosigner must be a U.S. citizen, 18 years of age or older, and must have a valid ID, paycheck stub, and utility bill in their possession.
What is a bail bond?
Bail bonds are money that a defendant needs to pay in order to get out of jail while waiting for the end of their criminal trial. Once the defendant should complete his / her legal obligation, this money will be refunded to the payee of the bond.
How does bail work?
Bail amount varies based on the crime you’ve been accused of and can amount to many thousands of dollars. Because you may not have the funds available to pay for your bail, you can turn to a professional bonding agent to help fund it.
In exchange for payment for the full amount of the bail bond, a bonding agent will charge you a down payment for his or her services.
If the defendant fails to appear for his / her trial, the cosigner is immediately responsible for the full amount of the bail. If the bail agent searches for and finds the defendant, the cosigner is responsible for all expenses the bail agent has acquired in the process.
