Overview

History

The Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions (DIFI) regulates money transmitter services. Individuals who engage in the business of money transmission or advertise, solicit or hold itself out as providing money transmission must obtain a money transmitter license (A.R.S. § 6-1207).

Money transmission means any of the following: 1) selling or issuing payment instruments to a person located in this state; 2) selling or issuing stored value to a person located in this state; and 3) receiving money for transmission from a person located in this state. Money transmission does not include providing solely online telecommunications services or network access (A.R.S. § 6-1201).
