Wisconsin Financial Certification is a program offered by the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) that provides financial certification to individuals and entities who wish to conduct financial business within the state of Wisconsin. This certification is offered in two forms — the Money Transmitter License and the Currency Exchange License. The Money Transmitter License is designed for businesses that provide money transmission services, such as check cashing, wire transfers, money orders, and bill payments. The Currency Exchange License is for businesses that provide currency exchange services, such as foreign currency exchange, foreign currency drafts, and other related services. To obtain financial certification, applicants must meet certain requirements, such as submitting a license application, providing proof of financial solvency, and submitting to a criminal background check. Once the application is approved, the applicant will receive a license number and will be able to conduct financial business in Wisconsin.
