Money Transmitters

How to License a Money Transmitter Company:
 
1. Read KRS 286.11.
2. Complete the application form as specifically instructed and have it signed and notarized. Please answer all questions.
3. Submit a surety bond.
4. Forward the State License Confirmation form to all states in which the business is currently licensed and operating.
 
Upon receipt of a complete application, processing time is approximately 45 days, at which time you will receive a letter of approval and a license certificate.
 
The money transmitter licenses are renewed annually on Sept. 20, prior to the Sept. 30 expiration date. The renewal fee is $500.
 
NOTE: If the money transmitter individuals change, a new Money Transmission Business Applicant Individual Background Form must be submitted at that time.
