Why do I need this bond?
Louisiana money transmitter surety bonds guarantee that principals (money transmission professionals) conduct business in compliance with Title 6, Chapter 13 of the Louisiana Revenue Statutes and all other laws applicable to the business of money transmission.

- Violating any provision of a voluntary consent or compliance agreement which has been entered into with the Commissioner of the Louisiana Office of Financial Institutions
- Knowingly providing or causing to be provided to the commissioner any information, which if submitted by him, would have resulted in denial of the license application
