立陶宛推出金融科技牌照远程申请服务

近日，立陶宛银行宣布将推出一款程序，允许企业远程申请金融科技许可证。

该监管机构表示，这项举措的目的是提高提交和管理电子货币与支付机构许可证申请流程的效率，进一步推动该国金融科技创新产业发展。

从本月起，想要进入欧盟市场的相关创企就可以在线申请立陶宛的单一欧元支付区内金融许可牌照了。

据了解，申请类似的拍照，在其他欧盟国家可能需要12个月甚至更久，而在立陶宛只需要3个月。

据统计，目前立陶宛金融科技产业内共有120多家企业。

英文原文

The Bank of Lithuania – the country’s regulator – has introduced a procedure which will allow companies to apply remotely for fintech licences.

The aim of this regtech tool is to help the process of submitting and managing applications for e-money and payment institution licences – and make the country “become even more approachable for fintech innovators across the world”.

As of this month, firms looking to access the EU market will be able to apply directly online for a variety of financial licences valid across the SEPA area.

According to Invest Lithuania, it means companies will get the “convenience of being able to set up their business from wherever they are”.

In our speed-obsessed world, Invest Lithuania adds that with all necessary documents submitted, it takes three months to obtain such licences, “while in other EU countries the process may take more than 12 months”.

Lithuania’s fintech ecosystem now has over 120 firms.
