The commissioner shall have the discretion to set, by regulation, the maximum remittance time.
  4. All funds, less fees, received by an authorized agent of a licensee from the sale or delivery of a payment instrument issued by a licensee or received by an authorized agent for transmission shall, from the time the funds are received by the authorized agent until the time when the funds or an equivalent amount are remitted by the authorized agent to the licensee, constitute trust funds owned by and belonging to the licensee. If an authorized agent commingles the funds with any other funds or property owned or controlled by the authorized agent, all commingled proceeds and other property shall be impressed with a trust in favor of the licensee in an amount equal to the amount of the proceeds due the licensee.
