What is this bond?

The Nebraska Money Transmitter Bond is a surety bond that serves as a financial guarantee for businesses providing money transmission services within the state. It ensures that the business operates ethically, handles consumer funds securely, and complies with all state regulations. In plain English, it protects the public from financial harm if the money transmitter fails to deliver funds to their intended destination.

Who needs it?

This bond is typically required for businesses and individuals applying for or maintaining a money transmitter license in Nebraska. This generally includes wire transfer services, electronic payment processors, currency exchanges, and businesses that issue or sell payment instruments.

Why is it required?

The obligee, typically the Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance, requires this bond to protect consumers and the state from financial loss. It guarantees there is a source of restitution if a licensed money transmitter engages in fraud, mismanages funds, or suddenly goes out of business without completing pending transactions.
