What Are Money Service Businesses (MSBs)?

Money Service Businesses are licensed entities authorized to conduct financial services such as money transfers, currency exchange, and remittance services. MSBs play a critical role in facilitating secure and efficient financial transactions, often serving individuals and businesses with cross-border financial needs. Licensed MSBs operate under strict regulations, including Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, ensuring compliance and trust in financial operations. Services offered by MSBs include:

• Money transfer and remittance services for domestic and international transactions.
• Currency exchange for individuals and businesses.
• Bill payment and prepaid card issuance.
• Check cashing and payment processing.
• Digital wallets and electronic payment systems.

Acquiring or selling a licensed MSB provides access to a rapidly growing market driven by globalization and increased demand for secure financial services.
