SERVICES OF THE MNB INNOHUB

FinTech legal repository | Licence

How can I get an activity licence? What kind of rules apply to my FinTech firm? We show you the process of licencing. All the relevant legal provisions and obligations are collected in one place. It is worth reading the MNB’s recommendations besides the obligatory rules.

FinTech Test Track | Regulatory Sandbox

For certain FinTech innovations, regulation can be an obstacle. Financial institutions can test live, under real circumstances in the MNB Regulatory Sandbox, meeting tailor-made standards.
