How Does a Minnesota Currency Exchange Bond Work?
A currency exchange bond creates a legal contract between these three parties:
- Principal: You, the currency exchanger filing the bond
- Obligee: The Minnesota Department of Commerce requiring the bond
- Surety: The provider issuing the bond
This holds you financially responsible for upholding the provisions of Minnesota Statutes Chapter 53A.
If you break the bond terms, harmed parties can file claims. The surety will pay valid claims up to the bond amount, but you must ultimately refund the surety.
How Do I Renew My Bond?
These bonds expire annually. To renew your currency exchange bond, simply pay your renewal invoice when prompted.
We’ll begin contacting you by phone and email 90 days before the expiration date.
