Liechtenstein Electronic Money License

Neptune Fiduciaries helps fintech businesses obtain an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) licence in Liechtenstein, a stable European jurisdiction with close ties to the EEA market through its EFTA membership. A Liechtenstein EMI licence allows businesses to issue electronic money and provide related payment services while benefiting from passporting rights across the European Economic Area.

The Financial Market Authority (FMA) regulates EMI licensing in Liechtenstein, requiring applicants to demonstrate sound governance, adequate capital, and reliable operational systems. With Neptune Fiduciaries guiding you through the entire process, your business can navigate licensing and ongoing compliance smoothly within this well-regulated jurisdiction.

Licensing Requirements and Key Features

FMA Authorization

Businesses must obtain formal authorization from the Financial Market Authority before issuing electronic money or offering related services.

Minimum Capital Compliance

Applicants must meet the FMA's minimum initial capital requirements applicable to electronic money institutions.

Sound Business Plan

A detailed business plan outlining the company structure, intended services, and financial projections must be submitted as part of the application.

EEA Passporting Access

Once licensed, businesses gain the ability to passport their services across the European Economic Area without needing separate authorizations in each country.

Management and Personnel

Fit and Proper Standards

Directors and senior management must meet the FMA's fit and proper requirements, demonstrating relevant experience and good standing.

Qualified Local Representation

Depending on the business structure, a degree of local management presence or representation in Liechtenstein may be required.
