For example, if a bond is set at $10,000, a $1000 premium would be paid to the bail bond company in exchange for posting the bail bond and releasing the defendant from custody.  Paying for the  bail bond premium is usually paid by cash, check, PayPal or credit card. The premium amount is non-refundable and fully earned upon release of the defendant, regardless of the final disposition of the defendant’s case. Paying a bond premium to a bail agent is usually a more affordable option than posting a cash bond.
