What is this bond?

The Wake County Alcoholic Beverage Fintech Payment Bond is a financial guarantee required for certain businesses remitting alcohol taxes through third-party financial technology platforms. This bond guarantees that all applicable taxes, penalties, and fees collected from alcoholic beverage sales are properly paid to the county. If the business or its payment processor fails to remit the funds, the bond provides financial protection for the local government.

Who needs it?

This bond is generally needed by establishments in Wake County, North Carolina, that sell alcoholic beverages and utilize fintech payment systems to remit their local taxes. This can include bars, restaurants, breweries, and retail stores depending on their payment processing methods. Requirements vary, so businesses should verify their specific bonding needs with the county's revenue department.

Why is it required?

Wake County requires this bond to protect the public's tax revenue from delayed, missing, or mishandled electronic payments. It acts as a safety net ensuring that local tax dollars generated by alcohol sales reach the county, even if a third-party payment processor experiences insolvency or errors.
