WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FINTECH LICENSES

FinTech License — Process, Cost and Duration

A license for a FinTech company can be issued by an onshore and an offshore country alike. In certain cases, offshore jurisdictions are preferable due to their lower cost and comparatively faster registration process. However, the best FinTech license depends solely on the owner’s needs. What type of company is going to be launched? What is it going to deal with? Who will be its primary customers? These are the questions to ask while deciding on a licensor. Once the choice is made, one can move on to creating the company itself.


Process of getting a FinTech license
First and foremost, the criteria and covered services of a chosen licensor must correlate with the needs of a company that submits an application. To make this possible, one must choose a licensing jurisdiction that suits the company plan right now and also will work out well in the long run. To soften out the most responsible part of the process, contact Rengang with your project idea so we can choose the license that will constantly move it forward.

The second step is to form a legal entity (a future company), prepare all the necessary documents, and tick the boxes according to the licensor’s requirements. The paperwork may include lots of documents that are too tedious to collect and prepare. Henceforth, you can entrust the process to us.

Once the backbone of the company is in perfect shape, the board of the firm can apply for the license. Eventually, a meeting with the regulator might take place, so that the company’s owner can get all the necessary feedback and make the requested adjustments.

When applying for a FinTech license, one must understand that compliance with the jurisdiction’s legal framework and conditions is not only obligatory at the initial stage of the process. Once the company is granted its license, it must comply with all the conditions for as long as it exists and operates.
Cost of getting a FinTech License
How much does it cost to start a fintech company? The cost is an important aspect of the licensing process. However, the initial licensing fee and all the associated expenses depend on the chosen jurisdiction, the license type, and the business model. Only an expert can determine the exact cost of a FinTech license while taking all these aspects into consideration.

In practice, the licensing costs can often be reduced if a startup owner agrees to proceed step-by-step and offer one thing at a time. For example, a crypto exchange business that is planning to offer payment cards. Starting out as a simple crypto exchange platform is way less costly, especially in the early stages of company formation and development. Once everything is settled and things are going well, the company may move on to integrating other services, including the payment cards. The point is clear: to save on the licensing procedure, one must first apply for a license that covers only one basic feature of the product.

The licensing costs are not the only expenses that must be taken into account. A future CEO must plan ahead and include all the possible overheads, such as office rent, legal and accounting services, marketing and advertising, and so on and so forth. The wisest thing to do here is to make a roadmap that covers all the possible expenses and even add a budgetary slack.
Duration of getting a FinTech license
The last factor to take into account is the duration of the licensing process. The exact time period is difficult to predict as it depends on the jurisdiction and its conditions, the license type, and the business model. If you need to license your fledgling company as rapidly as possible, contact us at any time and have an expert estimate the licensing period for your project.

While it fluctuates, the duration is mainly subject to three factors:

First, the applicant’s ability to prepare and submit all the documents and meet all the requirements as fast as possible.
Second, the regulator’s workload and the announced time it will take to review the application.
Third, any possible external factors that can influence the speed of the licensing process, such as mailing delays, excessive workload of the regulator, and any other unpredictable events.
Thus, the duration of licensing a FinTech company raises an important question: when to start applying for a FinTech license? In practice, the sooner the better. The case with the majority of delays is that a FinTech company keeps postponing the licensing process until the regulator’s workload does not allow it to review any new applications. With assistance from Rengang, the company formation and license application procedures can get significantly faster and less tedious for the CEO.

Types of FinTech licenses

A FinTech company, short for a financial technology company, is a business that uses sophisticated or innovative technology in order to provide financial services to other businesses and consumers. The main goal of a FinTech company is to digitalize – and thus facilitate – the way people and companies store, transfer, invest, borrow, and secure their funds online.

A crypto license is a type of FinTech license that allows a company to run a crypto-related business. It is essential for all commercial startups involved with cryptocurrency exchange. This license allows a licensee to conduct lawful and regulated crypto activities within the legal framework of a chosen jurisdiction.
A banking license creates legal grounds for running a banking business. It is a fitting license for Electronic Money Institutions (EMI), which mainly work online and provide digital payment services. A banking license is a must for everyone who wants to set up an EMI business and deal with electronic money.
A Forex license is issued to online brokerages – the platforms that allow customers from all over the world to purchase and trade foreign currencies. This license is obligatory for all novice Forex brokers, working as proof of reliability and thus trustworthiness of a Forex trading platform.
A gambling license is indispensable for online casinos and bookmakers. Anyone interested in launching a web-based gambling platform must apply for a license from one of the authorized jurisdictions. A gambling license works as a permit to offer casino, betting and other activities to customers in a legitimate and transparent way.
