Yes. Bail bondsmen can take payments. Custom agreements can even be made to accept partial payments over time or even using collateral like jewelry, a car or a house.

It’s at the discretion of the bond agency and based on factors such as…

• Previous court appearance history
• Good credit
• Work history
• Provable income
• Having a co-signer

It varies with each agent as each agency has its own set of guidelines and rules it follows.
