FAQ about this service

Which jurisdictions offer the best fintech licensing?

Top jurisdictions include the UK (FCA), EU (various member states), UAE (CBUAE), and the BVI. The best choice depends on your target market, capital availability, and business model.

How much capital is required?

Capital requirements vary significantly by jurisdiction and license type. Minimums can range from €20,000 for small payment institutions to €125,000+ for electronic money institutions. We advise on the most cost-effective path.

How long does the licensing process take?

Depending on the jurisdiction, licensing typically takes 3–12 months. We provide a realistic timeline during the initial consultation based on your specific requirements.

Do I need a compliance officer?

Yes. All payment services regulators require at least one qualified compliance officer responsible for AML/CFT compliance. We can help recruit or engage a suitable compliance professional.
