Need US licensed coverage?
Find a US money transmitter sponsor for your B2B payment flows
A licensed principal can carry your activity under its licences while you operate as its agent or program partner. We match your flows and states to a sponsor that accepts them, and introduce you with the model already explained.
Sponsors are matched on your actual flows and states, not on a brochure.
Is this your situation?
You have US clients or US-dollar flows waiting and no licensed route to serve them.
You looked at state licensing and the timeline killed the business case.
You have been told "no" by one sponsor and do not know whether that was about you or about them.
What you get
- 01
A one-page description of your model written the way a sponsor's compliance team reads it.
- 02
An honest fit assessment: which sponsor types will consider the model, which will not, and why.
- 03
A shortlist of candidate sponsors from our network, with the states and activities each covers.
- 04
Introductions with your model pre-explained, so the first call starts at "how", not "what".
- 05
Guidance on the sponsor's due-diligence file and on what the agreement will and will not let you do.
How it works
- 1
You send the form. We reply with questions on flows, states, counterparties and volumes.
- 2
We assess fit and tell you whether sponsorship is realistic for this model.
- 3
We shortlist and introduce.
- 4
You negotiate with the sponsor. We stay in the loop as adviser if you want us to.
What this is not
- This is not a licence. Sponsorship means operating under someone else's licences, on their terms, with their compliance oversight.
- This is not for consumer remittance models, crypto-only models or models with no operating history. Most sponsors will not look.
- This is not a guarantee. The sponsor decides after its own due diligence.

Money transmitter sponsor questions
What is a money transmitter sponsor?
A licensed money transmitter that lets another business operate under its licences as an agent or program partner. The arrangement runs under the sponsor's compliance programme and a written agreement that sets out what the agent may and may not do.
Can a foreign company use a US money transmitter sponsor?
Often, yes. It depends on the sponsor's own policy and on the model. Some sponsors will not carry a non-US agent; others do so as a matter of course. We do not state a legal position here. The sponsor's due diligence decides.
How much does money transmitter sponsorship cost?
Sponsor fees are set by the sponsor and vary with volume, risk and the services included. Our advisory pricing for MTL sponsorship matching is published on faisalkhan.com. We quote no sponsor figures here.
Is a sponsorship the same as having my own money transmitter licence?
No. Under sponsorship you operate as an authorised agent or program partner of a licensed money transmitter, under its licences and its oversight. Your contract with the sponsor defines what you may do. If you want your own licences instead, see our US licensing routes.
How long does it take to get a money transmitter sponsor?
Matching takes weeks. The sponsor's due diligence and contracting take longer, and that timeline is set by the sponsor, not by us. We give no fixed number because we do not control it. A licensed sponsor for payments moves at the speed of its own compliance team.
Describe your flows and the states you need. We will tell you if a sponsor will look.

Received. We will reply with the handful of questions a sponsor will ask first. If the model is not one a sponsor will carry, we will say so before you spend anything.
