Episode 6: RaaS Explained – How Banks and Fintechs Can Expand Cross-Border Without Licensing January 27, 2026
This year, something has shifted. Banks and large fintechs are no longer asking if they should expand cross-border—they’re asking how to do it faster? Reduce regulatory friction? Avoid locking yourself into multi-year commitments?
Some regions like the UK are looking to introduce a fast-track licensing regime, which offers provisional approval for up to 18 months until full authorisation is processed. While it’s a positive step, it’s only available for small fintechs and doesn’t remove the complexity that comes with entering new markets.
That’s why more money service businesses are turning to RaaS (Remittance as a Service) and in this episode we’ll be diving into how it can unlock new revenue and growth.
You’ll discover:
- Why adoption is accelerating – what’s changed, and why banks are reassessing their cross-border strategy now
- What onboarding really looks like – from qualification to integration and going live.
- New revenue opportunities – how to test corridors, capture more value, and grow without being constrained by provisional licences
- Choosing the right RaaS partner – the criteria that matter most when assessing flexibility, compliance, and long-term fit
