FAQ
1. Does federal FinCEN registration serve as a license to operate in all states?
No. FinCEN registration simply records your MSB under the federal Bank Secrecy Act database. It does not replace the need for state-level Money Transmitter Licenses (MTL), which are required independently by most state banking regulators.
2. I run a crypto platform. Do I need to register as an MSB?
Yes, if you act as an administrator or exchanger of convertible virtual currency, FinCEN generally classifies you as a money transmitter. You must register and implement a complete AML program regardless of your transaction volume.
3. What is the deadline to file my federal MSB registration?
Under federal law, you must file FinCEN Form 107 within 180 days of establishing your Money Services Business. Failing to register on time carries severe civil and potential criminal penalties.
4. What is included in the four-pillar AML compliance program?
The program includes designated compliance officer duties, internal policies and controls (including KYC/CDD), ongoing targeted employee training, and the framework for independent auditing, fully customized to your specific risk profile.
Do you guarantee state licensing approval?
I strictly handle your federal FinCEN registration and compliance manual development. State licensing is a separate, highly complex legal process that varies by jurisdiction and requires surety bonds, net-worth minimums, and specific legal counsel.
