Why You Need a License
Before you can open a check cashing business, you need a license from your state. This isn’t just red tape—it’s the law. The license makes your business legal and shows that you’re serious about following the rules that protect your customers and your community.

 

Who Needs One?
If you plan to cash checks for the public—even just a few—you need a license. It doesn’t matter if you’re running a full store or adding check cashing to an existing business like a convenience store or gas station. Without a license, you could face fines or even legal trouble.

 

Don’t Forget the Federal Side
In addition to a state license, most check cashers also need to register as a Money Services Business (MSB) with the federal government. This federal registration is done through the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and is a must if you’re cashing checks over $1,000 for any one person in a single day. Our consulting firm can take care of that registration too, so you don’t have to worry about the paperwork or missing a step.
