The Federal government wants the money transfer industry regulated for two reasons: first, to protect the consumer; and second, to control the flow of cash from point A to point B. These efforts have brought increased attention to the money transfer industry, and to the crimes often associated with the illegal transfer of money.

Unlicensed Money Transmitters

If you are an unlicensed money transmitter and you have transmitted money in a state that requires a license, you could be facing both state and federal charges. If convicted, you could be facing a five-year prison sentence. Even if what you are doing is legal, the mere fact that you are unlicensed could result in strict penalties.
