Securing an e-money license is not a simple task. You need our guidance every step of the way. Here’s how our services as e-money license legal consultants in Singapore can directly address and solve the challenges you’re facing:
When applying for an e-money license in Singapore, it’s critical to follow the right procedure and ensure that all documents are complete, accurate, and in line with the requirements set by MAS. A single error in your application could result in delays or even rejection. We handle the application process from start to finish, preparing and submitting all required documentation. Our attention to detail ensures that nothing is overlooked, reducing the risk of rejection and saving you valuable time.
Navigating the regulatory environment can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to understanding the full scope of the MAS’s licensing requirements. E-money businesses must comply with strict anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, conduct strong risk assessments, and meet various operational conditions. We provide specialist compliance advice, ensuring that your business meets all regulatory requirements, including operational, financial, and legal criteria. Our in-depth knowledge of the MAS’s regulations gives you peace of mind that your business is on track.
Every e-money business faces inherent risks, whether they involve financial fraud, cybersecurity threats, or transaction errors. Without the proper risk management strategies in place, your business could be exposed to significant liabilities. Our team works with you to develop a strng risk management framework that addresses these risks head-on. From ensuring your business adheres to the necessary AML procedures to implementing strong security measures, we help safeguard your operations from potential legal and financial pitfalls.
Anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) compliance are paramount for businesses handling electronic money. Non-compliance can lead to hefty fines or, worse, the revocation of your license. We assist in the establishment of effective AML and KYC procedures for your business. Our consultants will ensure that your KYC processes are thorough and that your AML policies comply with the latest regulations, protecting you from unnecessary risks and keeping your operations legally sound.
MAS has clear guidelines regarding the structure of businesses that apply for e-money licenses. Failure to comply with these structural requirements can delay the approval process. We help you set up your business structure in accordance with MAS’s guidelines, ensuring that your company meets the financial and operational standards required for successful licensing.
In the e-money licensing process, thorough due diligence is a key factor. MAS requires a detailed background check of all business owners, directors, and senior management to ensure they meet the necessary legal and financial standards. We help you prepare and submit all necessary due diligence documentation, ensuring that your company passes the background check without issue.
Once your e-money license is granted, your responsibilities don’t end there. Ongoing compliance is essential to maintain the integrity of your business and ensure continued operation. Our team offers continuous compliance support, helping you stay updated with regulatory changes and ensuring that your business remains in good standing with MAS. We’ll assist you in auditing your operations, updating policies, and ensuring that you adhere to all reporting obligations.
After securing your e-money license, you’ll likely want to expand your operations — whether that’s offering new services, entering new markets, or integrating new technologies. We provide strategic guidance to help you make informed decisions that comply with all regulatory standards. Our knowledge of the financial and regulatory environment in Singapore can help you plan and sustainably execute your business’s growth, without risking non-compliance or facing legal roadblocks.
