🚀 Launch Your MSB in Canada — Without the Licensing Roadblocks

Setting up a Money Services Business (MSB) in Canada the traditional way takes time, money, and a whole lot of paperwork. Between licensing, AML program development, finding a compliance officer, integrating banking, and satisfying FINTRAC—it can take 6 to 12 months before you’re ready to go live.

There’s a Faster Way: MSB License Sponsorship

With our Canadian MSB license sponsorship model, you can legally operate under an already-approved MSB, and everything you need to be compliant and operational is included.
