The Arkansas money transmitter bond is a minimum $50,000 surety bond, and a maximum $300,000 bond. Applicants who require the $50k surety bond amount are approved immediately. Please call our agency today at 844-589-9732.
The Arkansas money transmitter license, also known as a Money Services license, is granted by the state’s Securities Department.
After the purchase of your surety bond, it is filed through NMLS, the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System.
The surety bond requirement is as follows:
Applicants for the Arkansas money transmitter bond for the $50,000 surety bond amount are automatically approved. You will just complete an application --- much of which we’ll take from you over the phone --- and pay the premium of $750. The bond is issued to you immediately thereafter.
Please note: For the $50,000 surety bond amount, there is neither a credit check nor a review by an underwriter. The bond is issued to you immediately after payment of the premium.
For any amount above $50,000 (i.e. $60,000 to $300,000), you will complete the same application and undergo a credit review. Good credit will be required to be approved.
For surety bond amounts $100,000 and above, a financial statement will also be required. Upon approval with your good credit, you will pay 1.5% of the amount as premium, which is the same percentage as the $50,000 surety bond amount.
The Arkansas money transmitter bond is issued for a standard one year period. Thereafter your surety bond and its premium both renew.
The option exists to prepay your bond for up to 3 years. You benefit in two ways:
Using the $50,000 surety bond amount as an example, the premium prepayment options are as follows:
Other money transmitter surety bond amounts will have the same proportional savings.
The surety bond requirement is a financial guarantee of your compliance with the Uniform Money Services Act, and any subsequent amendments to this law.
