Licensing services

Licensing has become an indispensable part of doing business internationally. PSD2 and other FinTech regulatory developments have created new opportunities for emerging champions. The regulatory matters can be confusing and overwhelming. Thales Capital covers both licensing and certification in all major jurisdictions.

If a certain business offers financial services, holding a specialized license enables it to reassure clients and partners about the security and dependability of the business, aside from allowing it to work completely legally.

Thales Capital Luxembourg facilitates the process of obtaining financial licenses in different countries.

The benefits of acquiring a license vary per country. However, there are several details that must be considered while deciding on receiving a license in a particular state.

Requirements for obtaining a license

The type of licensed services and the jurisdiction determine the licensing criteria.

Entry requirements:

• depending on the sort of activity the firm engages in, the capital of the company must fulfill the capital requirements;
• a full business plan for the upcoming three to five years that includes a thorough explanation of the planned services;
• a thorough overview of the company’s business practices, risks, AML measures, and customer data security;
• utilization of up-to-date, trustworthy information systems to safeguard databases.
