Licence fees and timelines

Official application and annual supervisory fees and the statutory decision deadline for 160 fintech licences, with observed timelines where a regulator or a reliable source publishes them. The statutory clock usually runs only from a complete application and stops while the regulator waits for answers, which is why observed times are longer.
