Easy Payment Plans in Wichita
Finding a way to post bail shouldn’t feel impossible. For many families in Wichita, the biggest stress isn’t the jail call, it’s figuring out how to afford the bond. At Eastep Bail Bonds, we follow Wichita’s Local Rule 303 and offer straightforward, flexible payment plans so you can get your loved one home without taking on financial panic.
How Bail Bond Payment Plans Work in Wichita
In Wichita and across Sedgwick County, every licensed bail bond company must follow Local Rule 303, which sets the standards for how payment plans can be offered. The purpose of these rules is to protect you from unfair practices and to keep every bonding company consistent in how they charge fees.
Here’s what the rule requires and what you can expect when setting up a payment plan with Eastep Bail Bonds.
The Required Upfront Payment
Under Local Rule 303, a bail bondsman must collect a minimum of 5 percent upfront before a defendant can be bonded out. This is not optional, it’s a mandatory part of the process for every company in Wichita.
If the total bond fee is based on a standard 10 percent rate, the other 5 percent can be financed through a payment plan, depending on your situation and approval.
The Full 10 Percent Must Still Be Paid
Even with a payment plan, the full 10 percent bond fee must be collected. The benefit of a payment plan is that the remaining 5 percent can be spread out into manageable payments that work for your timeline and budget.
At Eastep Bail Bonds, we walk you through every step so you know the exact total, the exact payment schedule, and what’s expected, no surprises, no hidden fees.
How Much Time You Have to Pay Off the Balance
Local Rule 303 also requires that any bond of $100,000 or less must be fully paid off within one year. That means your payment schedule will be structured to meet that deadline. For larger bonds, we will discuss options based on the situation and court requirements.
We design payment plans that keep you compliant with the rule while keeping things as stress-free as possible.
What We Look At Before Approving a Payment Plan
To approve a payment plan, we typically review…
- Reliable contact information
- Employment or income verification
- Co-signers when needed
- Ability to make the upfront payment
- Reasonable confidence that payments can be completed within the required timeline
Our goal is to create a workable plan, not to make things harder. If you’re honest with us about your situation, we’ll be honest with you about your options.
