Malta Financial Institution License

Malta Financial Institutions

Malta offers a well-regulated and EU-aligned environment for financial institutions, overseen by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA), which is responsible for licensing and supervising all entities providing financial services within the country. As a full EU member state, licensed Maltese financial institutions benefit from EU passporting rights, allowing them to offer their services across all member states under a single authorization. Neptune Fiduciaries helps clients obtain the necessary license to operate as a financial institution in Malta, ensuring full compliance with all MFSA requirements from the very beginning.

Payment Services

Licensed financial institutions in Malta can provide a range of payment services, including money transfers, payment processing, and card-based payment solutions to retail and corporate clients across the EU under a single MFSA authorization.

Electronic Money Issuance

Authorized financial institutions can issue electronic money and offer stored-value products to clients, operating within Malta's well-regulated electronic money framework and in full compliance with applicable EU directives.

Credit and Lending Services

Licensed financial institutions in Malta are permitted to provide credit and lending services to clients, including personal loans, business financing, and other credit facilities within the framework set out by the MFSA.

Foreign Exchange Services

Maltese financial institutions can offer currency exchange and foreign exchange services to clients, providing a practical and regulated solution for businesses and individuals requiring cross-border currency transactions.
