Fintech licensing in Italy
CONSOB shares the field with Banca d'Italia. It takes crypto and securities conduct, while the central bank handles prudential oversight, inside Italy's twin-peaks system. The Atlas lists 3 licence types here across 3 families: crypto-asset service provider under MiCA, investment firm, as well as lending. Italy's EU/EEA seat lets any of them passport into the rest of the bloc by notification alone.

Path to market
Match your activities to the licence types above. CONSOB runs pre-application talks through its CONSOB-TECH unit, plus a national FinTech Sandbox coordinated with the Bank of Italy and IVASS. The filing then goes to CONSOB, backed by capital and governance information, plus the AML file its licence page sets out. An authorised EU/EEA licence passports elsewhere by notification, not a fresh filing.
