Mo. Rev. Stat. § 367.215
The director of finance shall not issue a renewal license to any person or entity licensed under the provisions of sections 367.100 to 367.200 unless the audit report is furnished as required by section 367.210. In lieu of the requirements of sections 367.205 to 367.215, the licensee may post a surety bond in the amount of one hundred thousand dollars. The bond shall be in a form satisfactory to the director and shall be issued by a bonding or insurance company authorized to do business in the state to secure compliance with all laws relative to consumer credit. If, in the opinion of the director, the bond shall at any time appear to be inadequate, insecure, exhausted, or otherwise doubtful, additional bond in a form and with surety satisfactory to the director shall be filed within fifteen days after the director gives notice to the licensee. A licensee may, in lieu of filing any bond required under this section, provide the director with a one hundred thousand dollar irrevocable letter of credit, as defined in section 400.5-103, issued by any bank, trust company, savings and loan or credit union operating in Missouri.
