Federal bonds are issued by a corporate surety bail bond company for defendants charged in federal court cases. A federal bond allows the defendant to remain out of custody while awaiting court proceedings in federal court. These bonds are posted after arrest once the federal court sets the bond amount and conditions and are filed in the appropriate United States District Court. The purpose is to secure release while guaranteeing court appearance and compliance with all conditions. Common types of federal bonds include appearance bonds, property bonds, signature bonds, unsecured bonds, cash bonds, and corporate surety bonds. Federal bond premiums through a bondsman are typically 15% and are non-refundable.

Bail bond companies usually charge a non-refundable fee, which is a percentage of the total bond amount. Additionally, collateral may be required to secure the bond.
When a federal bond is posted, the defendant must comply with certain conditions, such as:
Failure to comply with these conditions can result in the revocation of bail and the defendant being returned to custody.
