Payment institution registration involves typically tasks in combating money laundering and terrorism, and creating, developing, and documenting policies to ensure the continuity of business and the safeguarding of client funds. In addition, the overall process includes data protection documentation and drafting the terms and conditions of use for the payment intermediation service and technology, and also tasks of assessing the trustworthiness of management.
