Whatever your size or stage, we build compliance that satisfies regulators and supports your commercial growth.

MSB Compliance Questions Answered
What counts as an MSB in Europe?
Money remitters, currency exchange providers, and payment service providers typically fall within scope. In the EU, most operate as authorised payment institutions under PSD2 with national regulator approval.
Do MSBs need a licence in Europe?
Yes. Most money services activities require authorisation from a national regulator under PSD2, plus AML/CFT registration. We identify exactly which licences your business model needs.
How long does MSB licensing take?
Timelines vary by jurisdiction and licence type, typically between three and twelve months. Well-prepared applications that anticipate regulator questions consistently move faster through the process.
What are the AML obligations for MSBs?
EU anti-money laundering directives require customer due diligence, transaction monitoring, suspicious activity reporting, appointed compliance officers, and regular staff training, with national rules adding further requirements.
Can one licence cover several EU countries?
Often, yes. A payment institution authorised in one member state can passport services across the EU. We advise on the best home jurisdiction and manage passporting.
