MSB license: General information

MSB licence involves enrolling in a dedicated registry for businesses offering payment services. It is overseen by the Canadian regulator, the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada – FINTRAC, the country’s financial intelligence unit (FIU). The Centre plays a crucial role in identifying, preventing, and deterring money laundering and terrorism financing. To prevent these crimes, MSBs in Canada must satisfy specific requirements outlined in the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA) and associated regulations.

There are two types of MSB licence:

  • Canadian Money Services Business: This pertains to an entity that provides at least one money services business (MSB) service and maintains a place of business in Canada.
  • Foreign Money Services Business: This designation applies to an entity engaged in delivering at least one MSB service to clients or entities in Canada but does not have any physical place of business within the country.

General Information

A small payment institution (SPI) licensed in Poland is a convenient, beneficial solution for entrepreneurs planning to operate on a larger scale, to test in advance their technical solutions and the demand for their services in the regulated and supervised financial market of one jurisdiction. This form of payment service provision can be recommended, for example, for various start-ups in the FinTech industry. After testing its capabilities, the SPI licence can always be extended to NPI (National Payment Institution) and be authorised to provide payment services throughout the European Union.

We offer our clients the opportunity to acquire a company with an SPI licence with software integration and a valid bank account in Poland. Such payment organisation will be able to provide the following set of services:

  • accept and withdraw cash from the payment account;
  • perform actions necessary for maintaining the account;
  • make transfers to bank accounts in various ways;
  • issue payment instruments;
  • provide acquiring services.

Small payment organisations in Poland have transaction limits – the monthly amount of payment transactions must not exceed EUR 1,500,000. In addition, a customer can keep no more than EUR 2,000 in the accounts of one small payment institution.

If the limits are exceeded, SPI is obliged to apply for an NPI licence within 30 days of the exceeding. After the application is submitted, SPI can operate as an NPI and continue to exceed the limits, although it does not formally have this status yet.

FAQ

What types of companies does COREDO offer for sale?

We offer ready-made companies with existing financial licenses, including VASP/crypto licenses, SPI (Small Payment Institution) licenses, MSB licenses, and alternative investment funds. Our current inventory includes licensed entities in the Czech Republic, Poland, Canada, and other jurisdictions.

What is included in the purchase of a licensed company?

The purchase typically includes the legal entity with complete corporate documentation, the existing license or pending license application, compliance documentation, and corporate history records. The exact scope varies by company and is detailed in each offer.

How long does the acquisition process take?

For companies with existing licenses, the timeline depends on regulatory approval for change of ownership. This typically ranges from 1-3 months for simpler licenses to 6+ months for more complex authorizations requiring full regulator review.

Do I need regulatory approval to buy a licensed company?

Most financial licenses require the relevant regulator to approve new shareholders and directors before the transfer is complete. COREDO manages the entire approval process on your behalf, including preparation and submission of all required documentation.

Why buy a ready-made company instead of applying for a new license?

Acquiring an existing licensed company can significantly reduce time-to-market, as the licensing process has already been completed. It may also provide an established compliance framework and operational history. However, this approach is not suitable for every business – we help clients evaluate which option best fits their needs.

Can I see the company's compliance and corporate history before purchase?

Yes. We provide a comprehensive due diligence package for each company, including corporate records, license documentation, compliance history, and any regulatory correspondence. This allows you to make an informed decision before proceeding.

How do I start the acquisition process?

Contact COREDO to discuss your business requirements. We will present suitable options from our current inventory, provide detailed information on each company, and guide you through the entire acquisition and regulatory approval process.
