Why do I need this bond?
Hawaii money transmitter license bonds are put in place to ensure that principals (money transmitter professionals) perform services in accordance with Chapter 489D of the Hawaii Money Transmitters Act and all other laws relevant to the business of money transmission in Hawaii. If the principal conducts business in an unethical or dishonest manner, consumers will not be held responsible for any financial damages committed by the principal. He or she will then be responsible for reimbursing the surety for any expenses paid out within a timely and professional manner.
