Why do I need this bond?
Arizona money transmitter surety bonds guarantee that principals (money transmission professionals) conduct business in compliance with Chapter 12 of the Arizona Revenue Statutes and all other laws applicable to the business of money transmission. If fraudulent activity occurs as a result of malpractice conducted by the principal, consumers will not face any financial harm. Acts of malpractice include:
- The licensee making a material misstatement or suppressed or withheld information on an application for a license
- The licensee refuses to permit the superintendent or the attorney general to make an authorized examination
- The licensee knowingly fails to make any report required by Chapter 12
Other acts of malpractice can be found below in the Additional Resources section.
