Operate a Fully Licensed Forex or Money Services Business with Regulatory Confidence

The forex trading and money services industry is subject to strict financial regulations. Securing a forex brokerage or Money Services Business (MSB) license is essential for operating legally, ensuring AML/KYC compliance, and gaining investor confidence. Businesses that operate without proper licensing risk fines, account freezes, and legal action.

At Adonis Advisory Group, we provide expert legal guidance on securing forex and MSB licenses in major regulatory jurisdictions, including UAE (UAECB), UK (FCA), BVI, Cayman, and offshore financial centres. We ensure your business meets AML, capital adequacy and transaction monitoring standards, allowing you to trade and process payments with full regulatory approval.Forex & MSB Licensing Services

Forex & MSB Licensing Advisory

Forex & MSB Licensing Advisory

• Operating a forex brokerage or money services business (MSB) requires securing regulatory approval, implementing stringent compliance frameworks and maintaining strong risk controls. Without a properly structured licence, businesses face operational restrictions, banking challenges, and legal risks.

  
  

• We guide forex brokers, money transmitters, and payment firms through the licensing process in leading financial jurisdictions. Our legal team prepares comprehensive licence applications, compliance manuals, risk assessments and business model documentation that align with capital adequacy, operational due diligence, and market conduct standards.

• We ensure businesses meet FX regulations and trading framework, enabling firms to operate in full compliance while maintaining flexibility for global expansion.

AML/KYC & Transaction Monitoring Compliance

• Forex brokers and MSBs must comply with strict anti-money laundering (AML), know your customer (KYC), and financial crime prevention regulations, ensuring transactions are monitored and risks are mitigated. Non-compliance with regulatory obligations can lead to licence revocation, financial penalties, or reputational damage.

• We assist businesses in implementing enhanced due diligence (EDD), blockchain analytics, real-time transaction monitoring and automated compliance frameworks to meet FATF recommendations and AML laws. Our solutions include risk-based transaction monitoring, suspicious activity reporting (SAR), and cross-border payment compliance, ensuring forex and MSB firms can detect fraudulent activity and maintain regulatory integrity.

Liquidity Provider & Banking Solutions

• Access to liquidity providers, correspondent banks, and payment processors is critical for forex brokers and MSB firms to facilitate smooth financial transactions. Many businesses struggle to establish banking relationships due to increased regulatory scrutiny in the forex and remittance sectors. 

  
  

• We help businesses secure banking partnerships, liquidity provider agreements, and legal structuring for seamless financial operations. Our expertise extends to onboarding with Tier 1 liquidity providers, integrating payment gateway solutions and structuring correspondent banking agreements that align with FX licensing standards. We ensure businesses can operate with stable banking solutions, compliant payment rails and secure liquidity access, enabling seamless currency exchange, remittance processing, and global transaction settlement.
