Types of Bail Bond Collateral

  • Cash: Cash is the most common type of collateral. Bondsmen will require a percentage of the total bail amount, which is 10% in the state of Hawaii.
  • Property: Property such as real estate, cars, jewelry, or electronics are also acceptable forms of collateral. The value of the property will be evaluated by the bondsman and must be proportional to the bail amount.
  • Securities and Investments: Bondsmen may also accept securities and investments such as bonds, stocks, and mutual funds.

Why You Might be Required to Present Collateral

Bondsmen require collateral for several reasons. First, it’s a way to ensure that the client shows up in court, as the collateral will cover the bail amount if they don’t. Second, it also shows the bondsmen that the client is financially stable and can repay them if necessary. Finally, collateral protects the bondsmen from financial losses if the client doesn’t show up in court.
