As we prepare for the holiday weekend, we want to take a moment to thank you for your support in the bond transition to our new surety, American Alternative Insurance Corporation (AAIC), surety 036. We're two months in, and all is going smoothly with the automated process we have worked out with CBP.

Before starting your BBQs, please remember a few important notes: 

• Today, June 30, 2011, is the last day a Navigators Insurance Company (surety 572) bond can be filed with CBP. If you have any paper bond stock, please remember to email the bond serial numbers to fastbond@roanoketrade.com and shred the bonds. Begin using AAIC paper immediately.
• Update your ABI software to reflect AAIC's surety code 036. FastBond™ users are already issuing AAIC bonds - continuous and singles - make sure your entry data reflects the correct surety code.
• We will begin the transition for our Washington International Insurance Company (surety 891) bonds renewing in September on July 1, 2011. Your bond service team will be contacting you shortly, if they haven't already done so. 

Also, visit our website to read recent CBP news on late ISF transactions. Roanoke Trade is dedicated to keeping you updated on important news surrounding your bond and insurance needs. Contact your bond service representative or fastbond@roanoketrade.com to learn more.

Thank you!
