Georgia rule 80-3-4-.01 became effective July 6, 2026 and sets administrative fines tied to money transmitter violations. The rule includes a $1,000 per day fine for acting as a money transmitter without the required current license, plus penalties tied to NMLS updates, bond increases, prohibited acts, and net worth requirements.
What changed
Georgia put a new or updated money transmitter penalty rule into effect, including daily fines for unlicensed activity and penalties for several licensing and financial requirement failures.
Compliance perspective
Money transmitters in Georgia should review license status, NMLS update timeliness, surety bond sufficiency, and net worth tracking right away. The daily fine structure raises the cost of delayed filings and unlicensed operations.
