What happened

We are applying for UK authorisation.

Fourteen of our marketplace customers sell into the UK and currently route through a partner. We are applying to the FCA for our own authorisation so those flows come in-house.

What nextBuilding the UK compliance function, appointing a UK money laundering reporting officer, and standing up UK settlement rails.

Series B · Berlin, Germany · Fintech & Insurance
What happened

We crossed €2bn in annualised payment volume.

Volume has roughly tripled in a year, driven by three large marketplaces moving their whole EU flow to us rather than a slice of it.

What nextThe next constraint is settlement reconciliation, so that is where the engineering investment goes.

What happened

Looking for people who have taken an EMI through FCA authorisation.

We would rather talk to someone who has been through it than read another guide about it. Specifically interested in firms that were already regulated elsewhere in the EU at the time.

What nextA conversation, not a pitch. We will say quickly if it is not a fit.
