Electronic Money Institutions (EMIs)

What is an electronic money institution?

EMI or Electronic Money Institutions (EMIs) form the digital alternative to a bank where the client funds are stored in an ‘electronic wallet’. EMIs regulated by the EU can issue, distribute, and refund electronic money, and are authorised to perform transactions.

Establishing and licensing an EMI is a complex and multifaceted process with extensive industry and regulatory knowledge required. The license is similar to the PSP license with the main difference that EMI institutions can also handle Electronic Money.
