Legal & compliance by country
Subsections
Legal and compliance for payment businesses
Almost every payment business eventually needs a lawyer: to choose a jurisdiction, obtain a licence, set up a company and bank account, write AML policies or fight a frozen balance. This section lists {count} law firms, licensing consultants, corporate service providers and compliance specialists that work with PSPs, EMIs, exchangers, crypto companies and high-risk merchants.
Subsections
- Payment licensing — EMI, PI, MSB, money transmitter and payment aggregator licences.
- Crypto licensing (VASP) — VASP registrations, CASP authorisation under MiCA, local crypto regimes.
- Gaming licensing — Curaçao, Anjouan, Malta, Isle of Man, Kahnawake and others.
- Company formation — incorporation, nominee services, corporate maintenance.
- Compliance outsourcing — MLRO, AML policies, audits, regulatory reporting.
- Accounting & audit and disputes & recovery.
Choosing a jurisdiction
There is no universally "cheapest" or "fastest" licence. Cost and timing depend on capital requirements, local substance (office, staff, resident directors), regulator workload and how complete your application is. A lower entry price can mean weaker access to banks and acquirers later. Ask advisers to compare at least: total first-year cost including capital and staff, ongoing compliance burden, passporting or market access, and how local banks and acquirers view the licence.
