About This Company
FINTRAC registers this Canadian money services business to deal in foreign exchange and virtual currency, move funds and run a crypto exchange. Crypto firms, remittance companies and FX businesses entering North America are the seller's audience. A registration belongs to one legal entity. It cannot be assigned or sold. In a share deal the entity keeps its number and status, provided FINTRAC is told within 30 days and criminal record checks are filed for any new controller holding 20% or more. An asset deal, or a move of operations into another company, means the buyer completes pre-registration and applies afresh. It rests on the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act, with no passporting and no minimum initial capital.
MSB registration — foreign exchange and funds transfer in Canada. Priced on request, transferable in 2–4 weeks, holding MSB registration — foreign exchange and funds transfer supervised by FINTRAC. Best suited to payment and fintech operators who need authorisation before they can onboard clients.
