Why this bond
New Jersey money transmitter bonds exist to ensure that principals (money transmitters) perform services in accordance with Section 17:15-1C of the New Jersey Statutes Annotated, the Money Transmitters Act and all other laws applicable to the business of money transmission. If the principal conducts business in a dishonest manner, consumers will not be held responsible for any financial damages. The principal will then be responsible for reimbursing the surety for any expenses used to cover consumers.
Money transmitter bond details
