Why do I need this bond?
Minnesota money transmitter bonds exist to ensure that principals (money transmitter professionals) perform services in accordance with the Minnesota Money Transmitters Act and all other laws applicable to the business of money transmission in Minnesota. If the principal conducts business in a dishonest manner, consumers will not be held responsible for any financial damages they did not commit themselves. The principal will then be responsible for reimbursing the surety for any expenses paid out in a timely and professional manner.
What’s the fine print?
Minnesota money transmitter bonds must expire on December 31. If the surety or the principal decide to terminate the bond prior to its set date of expiration, a written notice must be submitted and filed with the obligee prior to cancellation.
