Global Standards, Local Enforcement for VASPs
Compliance in Finland means mastering two layers at once. FATF standards demand risk-based due diligence, blockchain-native monitoring, wallet screening, and the Travel Rule, while EU operations now route through MiCA authorisation. Beneath it, Helsinki’s fintech scene draws on strong engineering talent, with the FIN-FSA as licensing counterpart, and national requirements including AML Act give the FIN-FSA a distinctly local supervisory agenda alongside the European one.
Correspondent and banking relationships everywhere depend on demonstrable compliance quality, and perimeter questions around EU customers carry real consequences. In a market shaped by a blend of Nordic stability, SSM significance, and deep digitalisation, the FIN-FSA has little patience for arrangements imported unchanged from elsewhere. Reverse solicitation is narrower than most business plans assume. Our consultants build compliance for Finland specifically.

VASP Compliance Questions Answered
How should VASPs handle wallet screening?
Through blockchain analytics identifying sanctions exposure, illicit sources, and high-risk counterparties, calibrated to your risk appetite and documented for regulators every time.
Can non-EU VASPs serve European customers?
Only within strict limits: reverse solicitation is narrow, and active EU marketing or servicing generally requires authorisation, a perimeter we help assess honestly, including AML Act duties.
What is a VASP under FATF standards?
Any business conducting exchange, transfer, safekeeping, or issuance services for virtual assets, triggering full AML/CFT obligations under national implementations of FATF standards.
How do VASPs comply with the Travel Rule?
By transmitting required originator and beneficiary information with transfers, using interoperable technical solutions and conducting due diligence on counterparty VASPs, which we help implement.
Do VASPs need licences in Europe?
EU operations now require CASP authorisation under MiCA, replacing national VASP registrations, and we manage transitions and fresh applications across member states.
