What is a Money Transmitter Bond?
Companies that provide money transfer services or other payment instruments are often required by the state to obtain a surety bond to provide a guarantee that the business will comply with all state and industry regulations before a license is issued.
With so many changes and advancements over the years and the rise of electronic money transfer services, regulations have become tighter in order to prevent fraud.

How does a surety bond work?
A money transmitter bond works the same as any surety bond. There are three key parts to any surety bond: the principal, the obligee, and the surety. The principal is the business or individual required to purchase a surety bond. The obligee is the agency requiring the purchase of the bond. The surety is the company that provides the financial backing for the bond.
The obligee sets the required amount of the bond. The principal purchases the bond in the amount required by the surety company. If the obligee believes that there has been any wrongdoing on the part of the principal, they will file a claim against the bond to recoup any loss or damages or to serve as a penalty. The surety will investigate the claim and make the payment to the obligee if necessary. The amount paid will not exceed the total bond amount. The principal is then required to pay that money back to the surety.
