DLK Legal

DLK Legal is a Polish law firm that supports licensing of national payment institutions and electronic money institutions, known in Poland as KIP and KIPE. The practice entity is DLK Legal Korus sp.k.

Services

Two services are listed: licensing of KIP and KIPE institutions, and preparation of documents with communication to the regulator. In Poland the national payment institution route is separate from the EU passport route, and the file typically includes a business plan, governance and AML documentation and safeguarding arrangements. The firm assembles this package and handles questions from the supervisory authority.

Market

The firm works in Poland. A payment start-up that plans to offer services in other EU states will need to consider passporting after the licence is granted, which is outside the listed scope.

Who it suits

Fintech founders seeking a licence in Poland, foreign payment companies that want a Polish entity, and existing institutions preparing to change their scope may need this specialist advice. Fees, timelines and the extent of post-licence support are not published and should be requested from the firm.
