Assessing Credit Card Fees to Consumers

Agents may charge and collect the exact amount of the fee imposed by a credit card facility in connection with the use of a credit card in addition to the premium required by the insurer. The exception to this is with the issuance of bail bonds, where a bail bond agent may not charge any fee above or less than the approved premium rate. However, bail bond agents may charge the credit card fee imposed when the credit card is used to providecollateral on the bail bond written as long as the fee is clearly shown on the collateral receipt, is posted on a notice in the bail bond agency and is acknowledged by the consumer.
