What is a Money Transmitter Bond?
A money transmitter bond is a surety bond which guarantees the honest and professional rendering of services by money transmitters, in compliance with state regulations.
This bond protects the public, and the state in which it is issued, from dishonest money transmitters who misuse, withhold or steal funds made available to them by customers. Some form of money transmitter bond is required by most states.
Questions about Money Transmitter Bonds in Hawaii
How much does a money transmitter bond cost?
Your cost is a percentage of the bond’s total amount, determined by your surety. When calculating your cost, sureties will consider your personal credit score, among a number of factors. Other factors include personal and business financial statements, as well as your industry experience and your asset profile. Since money transmitter bonds are considered risky, sureties are very cautious and selective when underwriting them.
Applicants who have a high credit score can expect a rate that is between 1%-3% of the total bond amount. Those with a lower score can expect a rate upward of 4% of the total amount.

Can I get a money transmitter bond with bad credit?
It depends. It is possible to get a money transmitter bond with bad credit, but only under certain conditions. Since these bonds are considered high-risk, they are usually issued after careful scrutiny by sureties, and sometimes bad credit applicants get turned down in the process.
Our Bad Credit Surety Bonds program offers low-credit applicants a better chance of getting bonded, despite their credit score. To make this possible, we have an ongoing partnership with a number of the best sureties in the country, all of which are A-rated and T-listed.
Due to the nature of the bonds, and because of the applicants’ lower scores, rates under this program are higher than standard market rates.
Whether you have a high or low credit score, we at Lance Surety Bonds always do our best to ensure that all of our customers get bonded at the lowest possible rate by sourcing rates from a variety of markets.
