PaymentGenes specializes as a one-stop-shop partner applying for Banking, Payments Institution, E-Money Institution Licenses & card scheme membership.
The Dutch central bank is one of the most trustworthy regulators in Europe, making it very popular for FinTech companies entering the EU. Especially with the Brexit, this has only increased, which creates more pressure on the timelines and the amount of applications they can handle at the same time. We help with your market entry, from research and country deep dives towards market engagement with potential partners and clients.
Not having the steps done properly “the first time” will result in significant delay which can take a few weeks up to months. This is means a delay in revenue and extra costs.
