The FINTRAC online Money Services Business Registry is now live on FINTRAC’s website.
All Money Services Businesses must register with FINTRAC before they begin to operate. This applies to both Canadian MSBs and Foreign MSBs that operate within Canada.
Please note that although the Registry is now visible, MSBs must still submit their request to register through FINTRAC’s MSB registration email: MSBRegistration@fintrac-canafe.gc.ca
Visit the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada’s (FINTRAC) website to access the registry and for more information.
Users of the database for due diligence purposes should be cautioned that the information may not be current.
And as always, if your business needs assistance navigating the registry or figuring out if your business falls under the registration requirement, please get in touch with an AML expert today.
