Atlanta, Georgia – On October 7, 2026, the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance (“Department”) entered into a Consent Order with Coinme, Inc. (“Coinme”), NMLS No. 1185542. Coinme holds a Georgia money transmission license and currently operates virtual currency kiosks throughout the state.

The Consent Order was a coordinated effort between the Department and state money transmission regulatory agencies in 31 other states as well as the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.  The Consent Order addresses concerns regarding Coinme’s compliance with state and federal laws applicable to money transmitters.

Under the terms of the Consent Order, Coinme will cease all virtual currency kiosk operations in the state before January 1, 2027. Coinme is authorized to continue to provide other money transmission services to Georgia citizens. 

In addition, Coinme will retain an independent consultant to review the comprehensiveness and effectiveness of its Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering (“BSA/AML”) program.  Finally, Coinme will pay a $2.5 million dollar settlement, distributed among the thirty-four agencies. 

The Department, along with six other state financial regulatory agencies, led the enforcement effort.  The Department will also serve on the committee to work with Coinme and the independent consultant to ensure an improved and compliant BSA/AML program.
