North Carolina Money Transmitter Bond: The Premium

The amount of premium, or the cost of the North Carolina money transmitter bond will depend on several factors:

• The amount of the surety bond that you are required to purchase;
• Information contained in your surety bond application (because of the large size, the application is more detailed than a typical surety bond application);
• Your credit score.

As a very broad general rule, an applicant with good credit may expect to pay somewhere in the neighborhood of 2% annually for the NC money transmitter bond.

We stress, however, that the amount that you will pay may vary significantly from a ballpark estimation (for those with good credit) above.

Our agency will work to find you the best surety bond pricing.

The Bond’s Duration

Once issued, the bond is active for one year from the date of issuance; thereafter the bond must be renewed.

Not maintaining an active surety bond on file is grounds for license suspension.
