How the FINTRAC Registration Process Works

Our process is designed to eliminate guesswork, save time, and keep you fully informed.

We prepare and submit your MSB registration package to FINTRAC on your behalf.

Step 2

Once approved, we deliver your registration certificate, confirmation documents, and a tailored AML policy suite to help with banking partners and compliance reviews.

Step 4

Step 1

We begin with a kickoff call to gather your business information. This step typically takes a few days.

Step 3

We actively manage the entire review process, staying in regular contact with FINTRAC. Most clients receive approval in six to eight months. Other compliance companies often take eight to twelve months because they don’t follow up or maintain direct relationships with regulators.
