Expert MSP/MSB Compliance Services in Latvia
ABM Global Compliance provides complete MSP/MSB compliance services for money services businesses in Latvia. From payment licence applications with Latvijas Banka and AML/CFT frameworks under AML Law to ongoing regulatory support, we keep your business licensed, compliant, and growing.
MSB Compliance for Latvian Money Services
Money services businesses in Latvia operate under close supervision. Money remitters, currency exchange providers, and payment service providers must secure authorisation from the Bank of Latvia (Latvijas Banka), meet strict AML/CFT obligations under the Latvian AML Law, and maintain systems and controls that stand up to inspection. Getting any of these elements wrong delays licensing, invites regulatory action, and puts banking relationships at risk.
ABM Global Compliance makes that burden manageable. Our consultants have guided money services businesses through licence applications, inspections, and supervisory reviews in Latvia and across the EU. We know what Latvijas Banka expects to see, how long realistic timelines run, and where applicants most often fall short. Whatever your size or stage, we build compliance that supports growth.

MSB Compliance Questions Answered
Do MSBs need a licence in Latvia?
Yes. Most money services activities in Latvia require authorisation or registration with Latvijas Banka under PSD2, plus AML/CFT compliance under AML Law. We identify exactly what your model needs.
How long does Latvian MSB licensing take?
Timelines with Latvijas Banka 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 Latvia?
the Latvian AML Law 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 Latvian licence be passported?
Yes. A payment institution authorised in Latvia can passport its services across the EU. We advise on structuring and manage the passporting notifications with Latvijas Banka.
Do you support businesses after licensing?
Absolutely. Most Latvian clients stay with us for ongoing compliance support, regulatory reporting, policy updates, AML audits, and staff training long after their licence is granted.
