FAQ
What is an MSB?
A Money Services Business (MSB) is a legal designation by FinCEN for non-bank financial entities offering money transmission, check cashing, currency exchange, or prepaid access services.
Does my digital wallet startup need FinCEN registration?
Yes. If your business issues, sells, or redeems prepaid access or stored value (like digital gift cards or wallet balances), you generally fall under MSB regulations.
What is included in the federal FinCEN registration service?
I handle the preparation, data verification, and filing of FinCEN Form 107, delivering your official federal MSB registration certificate upon approval.
Will this compliance program pass an independent audit?
Yes. The AML/BSA compliance program in the Premium package is drafted to meet federal compliance requirements and satisfy bank partners.
Does federal registration cover state money transmitter licenses (MTL)?
No. FinCEN registration is at the federal level. State-level Money Transmitter Licenses (MTLs) require separate applications based on where your users live.
Do I need to provide corporate formation documents?
Yes. To file your registration, I will need your legal business name, EIN (Tax ID), corporate address, and designated compliance officer details.
How long does the FinCEN registration process take?
The document compilation takes 2 to 4 days. Once submitted, FinCEN typically processes and lists the registration online within 1 to 2 weeks.
Can you help with international fintech compliance?
This specific gig focuses heavily on US regulations (FinCEN). If you need help with Canadian (FINTRAC) or UK (HMRC) frameworks, please message me directly.
What is a Prepaid Access Provider under FinCEN rules?
It is an MSB that provides customers access to funds paid in advance that can be retrieved later via electronic devices, mobile wallets, or plastic cards.
Can you act as our company's permanent Compliance Officer?
No. I provide the infrastructure, registrations, and written policies. Your company must appoint an internal employee to act as the official Compliance Officer.
