20th November 2020 – The FCA announced on the 18th November 2020, that passporting of certain payment services for UK licenced institutions to European Economic Area (EEA) states will expire at the end the transition period on 31 December 2020.
Post-Brexit, this will significantly impact UK only FCA licensed payment providers as they will no longer be licensed to provide regulated payment services from the UK into the EEA member states. This will also impact payment services for companies based in EEA that carry out certain types of business in the UK.
MiFinity have the regulated and licensed solution to allow you to continue to make cross border payments post Brexit and service both your UK and non UK EEA customers. MiFinity UK Limited (Registration Ref.900090) and MiFinity Malta Limited (Registration Ref. C64824), trading as MiFinity for the issuing of electronic money are duly authorised and regulated by UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Malta Financial Services Authority respectively (MFSA). Both licences put MiFinity in the optimal position to continue to service both UK and EEA markets into 2021 and beyond.
