How long does it take to get our MSB license in the UK?

It is tricky to tell how long it will take for a firm to get their MSB license. There are different types of MSB licenses – Small Payment Institution, Authorised Payment Institution, Small E-Money Institution and Authorised E-Money Institution. We at RemitONE work with some of the leading remittance consulting firms in the industry and offer end to end money transfer solutions. Based on what we observe, an SPI license can take anywhere from one to three months; API license can take three to six months and E-Money license can take around 8 months. Of course, the time it takes for you to get your license depends on a number of factors and the time frames given here are just estimates and can indeed vary.
