I want to set up my own money transfer business. What steps must I take to become operational at the earliest?
In order to set up your own money transfer business in your country, you essentially need to carry out the following four tasks:
- Have a proven compliant money transfer system in place. Arrange a demo with us.
- Apply for a money service business (MSB) license with your regulator (if you are based in the UK, we can help you apply for all types of MSB licenses such as Small Payment Institution (SPI), Authorised Payment Institution (API), Small E-Money Institution (SEMI) and Authorised E-Money Institution (AEMI).
- Attain a special money transfer bank account with a licensed financial services institution in your country (if you are applying in the UK, we can assist you with your own remittance bank account).
- Partner with a delivery/pay-out network in the destination country where you plan to send money. Alternatively, you can make use of our existing contacts with established delivery agents worldwide. See RemitONE Connections™ .
