Brokerage & Forex Licensing

Czech Republic Investment Firms and Investment Intermediaries

The Czech Republic provides a well-structured and EU-aligned regulatory framework for investment firms and intermediaries, overseen by the Czech National Bank (CNB), which is responsible for licensing and supervising all entities engaged in investment activities within the country. As a full EU member state, licensed investment firms benefit from EU passporting rights, allowing them to offer services across all member states under a single authorization. Neptune Fiduciaries helps clients obtain the necessary license to operate as an investment firm or intermediary in the Czech Republic, ensuring full compliance with all CNB requirements.

Who Can Obtain an Investment Activity License in the Czech Republic

Banks and Credit Institutions

Licensed banks and credit institutions in the Czech Republic are permitted to carry out investment activities alongside their core banking services, subject to meeting the additional regulatory requirements set by the CNB for investment business.

Investment Firms

Dedicated investment firms authorized by the CNB to provide a range of investment services, including portfolio management, order execution, and investment advice to both retail and professional clients across the EU.

Investment Intermediaries

Investment intermediaries are licensed entities that act as a link between clients and fully authorized investment firms, offering a more limited scope of investment services under a lighter regulatory framework set by the CNB.

Foreign Investment Firms

Investment firms authorized in other EU member states can passport their services into the Czech Republic under the EU's MiFID II framework, allowing them to operate without obtaining a separate full license from the CNB.

Neptune Fiduciaries assists clients in identifying the most appropriate license category for their business model and manages the complete application process on their behalf, ensuring a smooth and timely authorization from the CNB.
