How much does a money transmitter bond cost in Idaho?
The Idaho Department of Finance requires money transmission professionals to post surety bonds to legally work within the state. Before beginning the bonding process, applicants should verify their required bond amount with the state in which they choose to do business. This bond must have $10,000 minimum coverage; $5,000 is added to the bond amount for each additional location.
This specific bond type is subject to underwriting, meaning the amount you’ll pay depends on a review of your personal credit report, as well as your required bond amount. Don’t worry about bad credit affecting your chance of posting a bond. The experts at SuretyBonds.com make the bonding process fast and easy for all applicants. Request your free bond quote now!
