MSB / Fintech Hub

Choose the MSB or fintech route that fits how you want to launch.

Start with the route that matches your launch plan, payments model, and compliance burden. Canada support works for narrower first-step needs, while cross-border, transmission, and EMI / PI projects suit businesses that need broader structure and stronger partner readiness.

How to judge the right level of MSB / fintech work

Entry support

Use the Canada route when you want a faster, narrower first step before paying for wider multi-jurisdiction structuring.

Cross-border structuring

Use the broader option when the business needs wider jurisdiction planning, compliance structure, or a more serious execution plan.

Transmission burden

Money transmitter work carries a materially heavier licensing, compliance, and execution burden than simpler MSB support.

EMI / PI route

This route makes sense when the business truly needs a more formal regulated-payments structure that providers, banks, or partners will take seriously.
