The category actually assigned is set at boarding and can differ from these.
Reviewed
Bail is paid quickly, usually by a family member rather than the defendant, and often reconsidered afterwards. That combination produces disputes at a rate that has nothing to do with whether the bondsman did the job.
The vertical is licensed and bonded state by state, which gives underwriting something solid to work with — and makes documentation the fastest route through it.
What is actually being priced
The cardholder is frequently not the person receiving the service, which is the classic pattern behind unauthorized-transaction disputes.
Payments taken at speed at unsociable hours produce regret disputes days later.
Licensing and surety arrangements differ by state and are checked against where you write bonds.
