Registration for Brokers & Agents, Contractors, and Obligees.
As the surety industry evolves, an increasing number of obligees are adopting fully electronic surety bonds.
Several parties are involved in the electronic bond submission process: the contractor, the obligee, and the surety agent — each with its own requirements and tools.
Tinubu Surety for Brokers & Agents “TSBA” (formerly known as SurePath) provides an end-to-end process for electronic bonding, submission, or delivery to obligees. This includes seamless electronic verification with bidding platforms such as BidExpress.
