MSP/MSB Compliance Support for Italian Businesses
ABM Global Compliance provides complete MSP/MSB compliance services for money services businesses in Italy. From payment licence applications with Banca d’Italia and AML/CFT frameworks under Decree 231/2007 to ongoing regulatory support, we keep your business licensed, compliant, and growing.
Italian MSB Compliance Handled Properly
The Italian market rewards money services businesses that take compliance seriously. the Bank of Italy (Banca d’Italia) expects properly prepared licence applications, and Legislative Decree 231/2007 imposes detailed AML/CFT duties covering customer due diligence, monitoring, and reporting. Weak compliance slows authorisation, strains banking relationships, and attracts supervisory attention that growing businesses can rarely afford.
ABM Global Compliance carries that weight for you. Our specialists prepare Banca d’Italia licence applications, build AML/CFT frameworks around Decree 231/2007, and support your business through inspections and ongoing supervision. We work with money services businesses across all 27 EU member states, which means proven approaches, realistic advice, and one partner wherever growth takes you.

Common MSB Licensing Questions
Do MSBs need a licence in Italy?
Yes. Most money services activities in Italy require authorisation or registration with Banca d’Italia under PSD2, plus AML/CFT compliance under Decree 231/2007. We identify exactly what your model needs.
How long does Italian MSB licensing take?
Timelines with Banca d’Italia vary by licence type, typically between three and twelve months. Well-prepared applications that anticipate regulator questions consistently move faster through the process.
What AML rules apply in Italy?
Legislative Decree 231/2007 implements the EU AML directives, requiring customer due diligence, transaction monitoring, suspicious activity reporting, an appointed compliance officer, and regular staff training for money services businesses.
Can a Italian licence be passported?
Yes. A payment institution authorised in Italy can passport its services across the EU. We advise on structuring and manage the passporting notifications with Banca d’Italia.
Do you support businesses after licensing?
Absolutely. Most Italian clients stay with us for ongoing compliance support, regulatory reporting, policy updates, AML audits, and staff training long after their licence is granted.
