§01 · Industry challenges
MiCA fully applicable since December 2024. The transitional regime ended in most EU member states by December 2025. Operating without a CASP licence to EU residents post-MiCA is unauthorised business — banks now flag MiCA-status absence at first underwriting screen.
Operators that depend on USDT/USDC for settlement need fiat on/off-ramps that survive correspondent-banking scrutiny. Wrong stablecoin issuer choice or wrong custodian = banking termination at the next AML review.
FATF Recommendation 16 (the "travel rule") requires VASPs to share originator + beneficiary information for transactions above $1,000 USD. Banks demand documented Travel Rule provider integration (Notabene, Sumsub, TRP) before onboarding.
EU MiCA, UK FCA cryptoasset register, US 50-state Money Transmitter Licences, Singapore PSA, UAE VARA, Hong Kong SFC VATP — every market has a different licence, different capital, different timeline. Wrong sequencing kills the bank application.
§02 · Our approach
Our network includes EU EMIs and banks with dedicated crypto desks — MiCA-aware, comfortable with stablecoin settlement, and willing to underwrite Travel Rule integration as standard.
We map your activity (exchange / custodian / OTC / payment gateway / token issuance) and target markets to the licence stack (MiCA CASP, FCA, MAS PSA, VARA, FINMA, ADGM, Anjouan AOFA, Seychelles VASP), then sequence banking around it. Wrong order = months lost.
We pre-vet your stablecoin issuer + custodian + on/off-ramp stack against the bank's correspondent constraints before submission. No surprises at AML review.
We package the documented Travel Rule integration, AML/KYC procedures, sanctions screening contract, and transaction monitoring tier into a bank-ready compliance dossier — first-time approval, not third-time.
§03 · Compliance checklist
We assemble this dossier before a single submission goes out.
We prepare this for you, not just list it. Standard and Concierge tiers include full preparation.
§04 · Process timeline
Submit a short form. We review your business type, jurisdiction, monthly volume, and compliance posture. You get an honest outcome report within 24 hours — no obligation.
We identify 2–4 institutions from our specialist network whose risk appetite aligns with your business. You receive transparent fee structures and onboarding timelines for each option.
Our team prepares your full KYB dossier — company documents, ownership structure, industry-specific compliance policies — formatted precisely for the target institution.
We manage the bank introduction and compliance review end-to-end. When approved, you receive full account credentials. Most operators are live within 10 business days.
§05 · Client stories
We held a MiCA CASP application but every bank we approached either ghosted us or quoted 6-month onboarding. GetBanked matched us with a Lithuanian EMI in 11 days, including Travel Rule provider hand-off. Game changer.
