Arizona Money Transmitter Bond

A money transmitter bond is required by the State of Arizona as a prerequisite to become a licensed money transmitter in Arizona. One cannot sell or issue payment instruments, engage in the business of receiving money for transmission or transmitting money, engage in the business of exchanging payment instruments or money into any form of money or payment instrument, or engage in the business of receiving money for an obligor for the purpose of paying that obligor’s bills, invoices, or accounts without first obtaining a money transmitter’s license.

The bond is conditioned on the faithful compliance of the licensee, including its directors, officers, authorized delegates, and employers, with State of Arizona statutes. The bond is payable to anyone injured by the wrongful act, default, fraud, or misrepresentation of the licensee, his authorized delegates or his employees, or to the state for the benefit of the person injured.
