The price of the bond is typically a small percentage of the bond limit, which varies by state depending on who is requiring the bond. Generally, the limit varies based on the loan volume the business services, or how many locations it operates out of.

What is the Purpose of the Check Cashers Bond?

Check Cashers bonds are for businesses that cash payroll, personal, or government checks for customers. Some may also issue money orders, sell prepaid cards, or provide short-term unsecured loans. Because these businesses are holding customer funds, this creates an opportunity for financial damage. It's important to understand the laws applicable to your license in order to avoid claims. Below is a list of example activities that could potentially result in a claim:

The bond is in place to protect the consumer from potential misconduct or license law violations by the business and potentially provide financial restitution should any unauthorized activity occur.

Who Does the Bond Protect?

Unlike other kinds of insurance, a surety bond is to protect the lender from fraudulent activity by the business. The bond acts as financial restitution for the consumer should the lender violate any state lending laws. This includes things like mishandling funds, charging undisclosed fees, or failing to follow state regulations. Should any of this occur, the bond is in place to potentially cover these financial damages to the borrower.
