How much does a money transmitter bond cost in Oklahoma?
The Oklahoma Banking Department requires money transmission professionals and check sellers 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, as the required bond amounts range from $50,000 to $1,500,000.
The cost of surety bonds for money transmitters and check sellers 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.
