About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the money transmitter bond covers

Nebraska regulates money transmission under the Nebraska Money Transmitters Act, Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 8-2701 to 8-2748, administered by the Department of Banking and Finance. An applicant for a money transmission license must provide, and a licensee must at all times maintain, security consisting of a surety bond in a form satisfactory to the Director.

Section 8-2731(2) sizes the bond at the greater of $100,000 or an amount equal to 100% of the licensee’s average daily money transmission liability in Nebraska, calculated for the most recently completed three-month period, up to a maximum of $500,000. A licensee that simply carries the $500,000 maximum is not required to run that calculation at all.

The bond protects the people whose money moves through you: any claimant against the licensee may file a claim or bring suit directly on the bond, and the Director may bring suit on a claimant’s behalf. Cancellation requires thirty days’ written notice to the Director and does not wipe out liability that accrued while the bond was in force. If the surety pays, you repay the surety.

Neb. Rev. Stat. § 8-2731 (Nebraska Money Transmitters Act)Section 8-2731 requires an applicant for a Nebraska money transmission license to provide, and a licensee at all times to maintain, security consisting of a surety bond in a form satisfactory to the Director of Banking and Finance. The amount is the greater of one hundred thousand dollars or one hundred percent of the licensee’s average daily money transmission liability in this state for the most recently completed three-month period, up to a maximum of five hundred thousand dollars. The bond remains in effect until cancellation, which may occur only after thirty days’ written notice to the Director, and any claimant may file a claim or bring suit directly on the bond. Confirm your required amount with the Department.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Nebraska money transmitter bond?The premium is 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. The bond amount itself is set by Neb. Rev. Stat. § 8-2731 — the greater of $100,000 or 100% of your average daily money transmission liability in Nebraska, capped at $500,000. Enter your required amount to see your exact price before you pay.

How is my bond amount calculated?The Department looks at your average daily money transmission liability in Nebraska over the most recently completed three-month period. The bond is the greater of that figure or $100,000, up to $500,000. A licensee that carries the full $500,000 does not have to run the calculation.

How fast will I have the bond?Your exact price appears at the application, so the bond issues the moment you pay — the executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to upload to your NMLS record.

Is there a credit check?The application carries a credit consent section, and that screen is a soft credit pull only — never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.

Can the bond be cancelled?Only on thirty days’ written notice to the Director of Banking and Finance, and cancellation does not affect liability that accrued while the bond was in effect. We send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so the license never sits unsecured.
