Operator-Led Model Qualification: Connecting to Asian MSBs

The question in full

The question 'If we go for the Operator-Led Model, are we qualified if we request to be connected to MSBs in Asia & other regions?' is fundamentally a question of 'Institutional Readiness.' Choosing the Operator-Led model means you are positioning yourself as the hub of the transaction, which is exactly what top-tier MSBs in Asia (Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam) look for.

Answer

Yes, but by qualification, let us be clear. You act as an ISO (Independent Sales Organization). The EMI has a limited payout network capability because of their bank and the payout partners. If their existing network covers the areas you want, then yes, certainly this is doable. However, if the EMI does not have the outreach to the type of payout partner that you are looking for, then the charges per MTO that are formally onboarded as a correspondent tie-up for payout.
