Real businesses. Real outcomes.

Challenge

A Malta-licensed casino operator had been rejected by 4 banks over 3 months. Their MGA licence was in order, but their corporate structure included a BVI holding company that triggered automatic rejections.

Approach

We identified two institutions in our network that specifically accept MGA-licensed operators with offshore holding structures. We repackaged the corporate documentation and made a warm introduction.

Outcome

Account live in 7 business days. Multi-currency IBAN (EUR, GBP, USD). Full SEPA and SWIFT access.

Challenge

A new crypto exchange with a Lithuanian VASP registration needed banking before their public launch. They had no banking history and needed multi-currency capability.

Approach

Our pre-approval assessment identified 3 viable institutions. Within 48 hours of submission, we presented a shortlist with full fee transparency. The client chose the option with the best API integration.

Outcome

3 banking options within 48 hours of pre-approval. Account live in 9 business days. Full API access for automated reconciliation.

Challenge

A CySEC-regulated FX brokerage needed a Tier-1 bank for client segregated funds. Their previous provider had exited the market, leaving them with a 30-day window to find a replacement.

Approach

We matched the brokerage with a Tier-1 institution that specifically serves regulated FX brokers in Cyprus. We expedited the KYB process by pre-reviewing documentation and managing the relationship directly.

Outcome

Tier-1 bank account live in 7 business days. Client money segregation fully compliant. 30-day deadline met with a week to spare.

Challenge

A UK-registered adult entertainment platform had been rejected by every mainstream bank and several EMIs. Their compliance documentation was complete, but no institution would onboard them.

Approach

We identified a specialist EMI with a clear and transparent policy for adult entertainment businesses. We facilitated a warm introduction with full documentation support.

Outcome

EMI account live in 8 business days. Card payments and SEPA transfers enabled. Full compliance maintained.

Challenge

A Lithuanian-registered PSP with a PI licence was being declined by every major bank. Their aggregator model was flagged as high-risk despite clean transaction history and solid compliance infrastructure.

Approach

We presented two EMI partners from our network with direct experience onboarding PSPs at this volume tier. We pre-reviewed their compliance framework and coached the team on how to position their transaction monitoring system to the institution.

Outcome

EMI account live in 11 business days. Full card acquiring activated within 3 weeks. SEPA and SWIFT enabled from day one.

Challenge

An international holding company incorporated in the Seychelles needed a business account to receive management fees and make intercompany payments. Every bank they approached declined at the first mention of the jurisdiction.

Approach

We matched the structure with a Georgia-based regulated bank that has a documented policy for Seychelles entities with legitimate business activity. We prepared the full UBO chain, purpose of account documentation, and source of funds evidence.

Outcome

Business account live in 12 business days. Multi-currency (EUR, USD). SWIFT access for international payments.

Challenge

A UK-based OTA had their merchant account closed twice in 12 months — once after a chargeback spike during a travel disruption, and once during a routine review. They were processing £800K/month and had no viable alternative.

Approach

We identified a specialist payment processor with deep experience in the travel vertical, including explicit policies for chargeback ratios during force majeure events. We structured the application around their rolling reserve model to give the processor comfort.

Outcome

New merchant account live in 8 business days. Card acquiring fully operational with rolling reserve agreement. Chargeback management support included.

Challenge

A Netherlands-based CBD brand was launching direct-to-consumer sales across Europe but had zero banking relationships. Every bank cited regulatory uncertainty around CBD classification, despite the product being fully legal and lab-certified.

Approach

We pinpointed two EMIs with written internal policies approving EU-compliant CBD brands. We prepared a documentation pack that included lab certificates, THC content compliance, and a clear explanation of the regulatory framework — removing every objection before the application was submitted.

Outcome

EMI account live in 9 business days. Card payments and SEPA transfers activated. European e-commerce launch proceeded on schedule.
