Netherlands Financial Services License

Netherlands Financial Service Providers

Neptune Fiduciaries helps businesses obtain Financial Service Provider (FSP) authorisation in the Netherlands, one of Europe's most established and business-friendly financial hubs. The Netherlands offers a stable regulatory environment, a highly developed financial infrastructure, and access to the EU single market, making it a preferred jurisdiction for businesses looking to offer financial services across Europe.

The Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) and De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) jointly oversee financial service providers in the Netherlands, ensuring businesses meet strict standards of governance, consumer protection, and operational integrity. Applicants must submit a detailed application covering their business model, ownership structure, risk management framework, and the specific financial services they intend to offer, along with evidence that directors and key personnel meet fit and proper requirements.

At Neptune Fiduciaries, we support businesses through every stage of the FSP authorisation process, from initial application preparation to ongoing regulatory compliance. Our team helps you understand your obligations under Dutch financial services law and ensures your business remains compliant with both local and EU-level regulatory requirements, giving you the foundation to operate with confidence in the Netherlands and beyond.
