The benefit of having Electronic Money Institution License in Malta

  • E-money institutions fall under the scope of the Financial Institutions Act. In June 2011, Malta changed its domestic e-money institution regulatory framework which resulted in a lowering of the required initial capital from €l million to €350,000. This thus offers the opportunity for newcomers and smaller operators to access the market;

  • E-money institutions benefit from lower capital requirements in comparison to credit institutions.

  • Having one of the most advanced telecoms networks in the EU, Malta is also attracting an increasing amount of e-commerce companies;

  • Companies opting to set up in Malta benefit from lower operational costs such as salaries and office rents, in comparison to most European countries.

Scope of EMIs license provided

EMI’s are licensed to carry out the following activities:

  • Services enabling cash to be placed on a payment account as well as operations required for operating a payment account;
  • Services enabling cash withdrawals from a payment account as well as operations required for operating a payment account;
  • Execution of payment transactions, including the transfer of funds on a payment account and including the execution of direct debits, credit transfers, and payment transactions through a payment card or similar device;
  • Execution of payment transactions where the funds are covered by a credit line for a payment service user, including the execution of direct debits, credit transfer, and payment transactions through a payment card or other device;
  • Issuing and/or acquiring of payment instruments;
  • Money remittance;
  • Execution of payment transactions where the payer gives consent for a payment transaction by means of telecommunication, digital or IT devise and the payment is also made by the latter, which acts as an intermediary on behalf of the payment service user.
