Transfer Bonds: Bail When the Arrest Is in Another County or State

A Charlotte resident arrested in Rock Hill. A Gastonia family whose son is in a jail in Asheville. A Union County warrant served in Mecklenburg. In each case the people who can co-sign are here, and the jail is somewhere else. A transfer bond solves that.

What a transfer bond is

A transfer bond is a bail bond arranged through a bondsman where the family is, and posted by a bondsman licensed where the jail is. Champion handles the co-signer, paperwork and payment here, then coordinates with a partner agent in the county or state of arrest who physically posts the bond. To the jail it is an ordinary bond. To the family it means dealing with one company they can meet.

Still have a question?

What is a transfer bond?

A bail bond arranged with a bondsman in one place and posted by a licensed agent where the jail is.

Can you bail someone out of jail in South Carolina?

Yes, through a transfer arrangement. Call with the county and we will explain the steps.

How long does a transfer bond take?

Usually a few hours longer than a local bond, because a second agent is involved. Same day is common.

No. Everything on the co-signer’s side is done here or electronically.
