Since 2013 we have advised the founders and boards of payment, e-money and crypto businesses in more than 60 countries: on authorisation, on the bank accounts a regulated firm needs, and on the compliance it must keep once it is live.
A senior adviser replies the same working day with a plain view of what it takes, how long it is likely to run and whether we are the right firm to help.

The people who run your engagement have run regulated payment firms themselves and have held roles approved by the regulator. We know what the application looks like from the inside, what the supervisor will ask in year two, and which shortcuts cost more later.
Most clients come to us by introduction. They stay because the same senior team handles the work from the first conversation to the regulator's decision, and through the years of supervision that follow.
About the firmFive things, done by people who have done them before. Each begins with advice on whether it is the right step for the business, and only then with the work.
We advise on which permission fits the business before anything is drafted, then prepare and run the application for e-money, payment, money transmission, crypto and stablecoin firms, and stay with it until the regulator decides.
Policies that match how the business runs, governance the board can stand behind, reporting on time, and a compliance function sized to the firm rather than to a template.
The safeguarding, operating and settlement accounts a regulated firm needs, arranged through banks that know the sector, with customer money protected, reconciled daily and audited each year.
Advice to buyers and sellers of regulated companies, from finding the right counterparty to the regulator's approval of the new owner.
Information requests, restrictions and independent reviews, answered well and put right to the regulator's timetable, with the firm's relationship intact.
We take on work only where we are confident we can help, and we say so early when an application should not be made or a different route would serve the business better.
Tell us where you are and where you want to be. We will tell you honestly whether we can help, what it involves and how long it is likely to take.
Authorisation, banking and supervision in the markets we cover, every week.
