Oregon Money Transmitters:

Oregon money transmitters are regulated by the Oregon Division of Financial Regulations.

Money transmitters are involved in accepting payments for bills --- for example, telephone, gas, and electric bills --- and transmitting money within the United States or internationally for a fee.

Oregon money transmitters may also:

• Issue money orders;
• Sell travelers’ checks;
• Cash checks

To be involved in the money transmitter business in Oregon, one must be licensed by the Department.

Some Steps Involved in Obtaining an Oregon Money Transmitter License:

Money transmitters are not required to attend a pre-licensing seminar or pass an exam.

And while Oregon, via the Division of Financial Regulations, issues the money transmitter license, the application itself is submitted online via NMLS.

The following, though not all encompassing, are required to become an Oregon money transmitter:

• Full completion of the required Oregon money transmitter application;
• Payment of the non-refundable licensing fee of $1,000. Each credit control person will also undergo a credit check which is $15.00 per person;
• Audited financial statements which show a company net worth of $100,000, plus $25,000 for each money transmitter location, if applicable;
• Company disclosures. These relate to criminal history and may be required of all officers and owners of the Oregon money transmitter bond;
