Why do I need this bond?
Kansas money transmitter bonds are put in place to ensure that principals (money transmitter professionals) act accordingly in compliance with the Kansas Money Transmitter Act as well as all other relevant statutes pertaining to money transmitters in Kansas. If the principal conducts business in an unjust or dishonest manner, consumers will not be held responsible for any financial damages committed by the principal. The principal will then be responsible for reimbursing the surety for any expenses paid out within a timely and professional manner. Some examples of violations under this act include:
- filing any document or statement falsely representing or omitting a material fact
- refusing to permit an examination or investigation by the Commissioner
- failing to pay all necessary fees
- advertising or distributing false information relative to money transmission
