Why become licensed as an EMI or PI in Europe?

Facilitate Global Transactions

In today's interconnected world, businesses need to operate on a global scale. By expanding your business in Europe, you will gain access to the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) and European Union member states, allowing you to facilitate cross-border transactions seamlessly. This can help enable your business to expand its horizons and reach new markets.

Drive Innovation

The financial landscape is evolving rapidly, with advancements in technology transforming the way we transact. Being at the forefront of this at a European level will help keep your firm ahead of the curve and shape the future of finance.

Expand Revenue Streams

Having the ability to operate across jurisdictions will provide an opportunity to diversify your revenue streams, and unlock new sources of revenue. By meeting the diverse needs of your customers, you can create sustainable growth for your business.

We worked with Thistle’s payment services team on our application to become a Registered Account Information Service Provider (RAISP). From the very start of the project, the team was extremely professional and fast-moving, answering all our queries in detail and drafting comprehensive documents for our application. This helped us get approved much faster than we had accounted for. We would recommend Thistle’s team to any early-stage company that’s looking for support on their FCA applications.
