Where Arizona still requires distinct security for sellers or distributors of checks, the bond follows the controlling DIFI license; many models now fall under money transmission (A.R.S. § 6-1228).
The surety bond guarantees that the principal will perform the duties required under A.R.S. § 6-1228 (money transmission) - confirm if a distinct checks-seller license still applies up to the penal sum.
A claim may arise if the principal fails to comply with the bonded Arizona obligation or causes covered loss to the obligee or protected parties.
If a claim is valid, the surety may pay up to the bond penalty according to the bond terms; the principal remains liable to reimburse the surety.
