Riders
Riders are used to update or correct bond information such as address, name, effective/expiration date, etc.
Some bonds require RLI to process the rider. In other situations, the Obligee may require a new bond instead of a rider. Please contact your underwriting office if you are unable to process the rider in RLink, or if an error appears. If only one type of rider is available, you will be navigated to the Bond Info page for completion.
Riders: Getting Started
Initiating a rider can be done one of two ways:
1. Navigating to My Bonds within My Bond Center and clicking the "Rider" action button to the right of the bond.
2. Navigating to My Bonds within My Bond Center, opening the bond, and selecting the "Rider" button at the top.
Riders: Types
Depending on bond requirements, you may see one of two rider submission options. If you receive a drop-down menu, you can choose your desired bond type and move forward to the billing and finishing screens.
If you receive a request window, you will specify your desired change and attach any related documents before sending for underwriter review.
Riders: Finishing
The status bar will update Transaction Type, Underwriting, Application and Premium (if applicable). You can review rating and enter any additional mailing information to complete the bond. You will also select your billing or pay now option for riders that require additional premium.
If Underwriting is needed, the bond will undergo review, and an underwriter will email you within one business day.
For client billing, you'll receive an email upon payment receipt and rider execution. For agency bill, the bond will be executed after clicking Finish. After executing the rider, any applicable documents will be filed under the “documents” tab.
