WesExpress Program

Contract Bonds Made Easy

As a contractor, locking down a contract means you can start getting shovels in the dirt or hammers driving nails. And more money flowing into your business.

The last thing you need are issues with your bond program slowing things down.

We get that. That’s why we created WesExpress to deliver one of the industry’s fastest turn-around times for credit-based contract bonds.

Fast and responsive results

We keep it simple with a quick electronic application featuring an electronic signature option, prequalification that doesn’t require a signature, and you get a single point-of-contact to answer questions. Often you get a same-day response to your bond request.

We offer competitive rates, and there’s no application fee or charge for bid bonds.

As a small and growing contractor, you can get bonded for up to $1 million single/aggregate bond limits based on your credit score and other qualifying factors. In many cases, financial statements are not required unless you’re requesting more than a $750,000 aggregate bond limit.
