Our most common questions answered efficiently.

How does my volume affect the Arizona bond size?

The bond starts at a minimum of $25,000 and increases proportionally based on your total gross volume, topping out at a maximum of $500,000.

What happens if my corporate credit is weak?

You can still obtain the bond, but underwriters may adjust the premium upward or require a review of audited corporate balance sheets.

Can I consolidate my Arizona bond with other states?

While you can use one surety company for all states, you must file a distinct, separate bond for Arizona's specific regulatory agency.

How long does an Arizona money transmitter bond remain active?

The bond runs continuously alongside your license but must be renewed annually with your surety provider to avoid cancellation tags.

What is the penalty for operating without this bond in Arizona?
