I am a licensed E-Money institution in the UK, and do not have physical offices in Canada however I wish to offer services to Canadian customers. Would my license in the UK meet any regulatory requirements in Canada allowing me to accept Canadian customers?2021-02-01T11:57:22+00:00

Your license in the UK unfortunately does not extend to any operations you may wish to conduct In Canada. An
E- Money Institution License in the UK is similar to Canada’s MSB Registration. Your business model would need
to be reviewed by a lawyer to assess whether or not you would be required to register with Canada’s Financial
Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada otherwise known as FINTRAC. If it is deemed by the lawyer
that your business model is that of an MSB, you would need to be registered with FINTRAC as a Foreign MSB.

Through our network of resources, we can introduce you to one of the many lawyers we work with in the space
to assist you in assessment of your business model as it relates to any regulatory requirements in Canada.

We are a business within the payment space and have integrated with multiple third-party technology solution providers in an attempt to automate our growing number of Compliance tasks. Often a single technology provider can only respond to one of the items on our long list of tasks. This has caused us to implement multiple technology solutions. Managing multiple vendors has become difficult and we are not overly happy with the gap that sometimes occurs, between where one solution ends, and another begins, leaving us often with a manual process and an unmanageable risk. Do you provide consultation services aimed at helping us navigate through all of the various third-party compliance technology providers and evaluate which one(s) would better meet our needs?2021-02-01T11:59:43+00:00

Yes we believe all AML Programs must include technology solutions aimed at automating compliance processes.

compliance needs.
