Arizona Money Transmitter Bond

Any business who wants to conduct money transmitting in Arizona needs to get bonded in order to obtain a state license from the Department of Financial Institutions. The bond ensures they will comply with applicable Arizona Statutes, and protects customers. Applicants have to use the official surety bond form when submitting their applications for an Arizona money transmitter license.

The bond amount that Arizona money transmitters have to post is set by the licensing authority, with a minimum amount of $25,000. Before you start your licensing process, make sure to verify the requirements that apply for you.

The bond price you have to pay is not the same as your bond amount. It’s called the bond premium, and it’s usually between 1%-5% of the bond amount. This means that for a $25,000 bond you may pay as low as $250-$1,250.

When you apply with a surety, it needs to take a close look at your personal and business finances. It considers factors such as your personal credit score, business finances, and assets and liquidity, in order to judge how risky it is to get you bonded. Your bond price is likely to be lower if your overall financial status is solid.

Your surety bond does not protect your money transmitting company. Instead, it safeguards the interests of your customers. If you knowingly transgress from your obligations as set in the Arizona Revised Statutes, Chapter 12, you can face a bond claim.

On proven claims, you’re obligated to reimburse affected parties up to the penal sum of your bond. Your surety covers all expenses at first, but you have to repay it in full. This means that bond claims can harm your business financially, and they prevent you from getting bonded in the future.
