Topic: 🔴CRYPTO-LICENSES IN ESTONIA🔴 (Read 458 times)

Hi guys, concerning your thoughts, nowadays, banking is not a problem for crypto anymore unless you have a valid VASP license and transparent structure. Mica bill that has been recently approved by European authorities will make banking for crypto highly welcomed.
If you have any questions on banking solutions for crypto projects, just let me know, I'll definitely recommend you something that works well.
Also, if you need authorization for the crypto you can contact [email protected] or find more information here https://www.pfser.com/en/licensing/

(I think) You can write a request for staff members on the webpage https://adamsmith.lt/en/finance-and-blockchain/cryptocurrency-license-in-lithuania/#modal or you can also send an email to - [email protected] and they will thoroughly reply about all differences between Estonian and Lithuanian crypto licences.

Entrepreneurs with the e-residence card usually work with the neobanks like Bunq, TransferWise, N26, etc. On the government website, they advise some payment processors as well if I remember correctly.
But it's true opening a bank account can be a problem, despite the fact the government has authorized the opening of remote bank accounts. It's due to the KYC/AML in Europe. The only choice is to visit the country.

The e-Residency program had a partnership with Holvi so it was no longer a problem but since last year they closed new registration for e-resident customers https://support.holvi.com/hc/en-gb/articles/115005937589

Good day,

The licenses are issued by the Estonian state authorities, in this particular case the Estonian Money Laundering prevention bureau.
The licenses are issued to the company registered in Estonia. An Estonian company can be set up, owned and managed by a foreigner. You do not need to present physically in Estonia, though in such a case your company will require a local contact person (resident representative). This service can be provided by our company.
In other words the license can be issued to the name of a company you may set up and own in Estonia.
Please note, that you will have to appoint a person responsible for the implementation of money laundering prevention rules in your company in accordance with Estonian legislation. You can be such a person yourself if you wish, provided you have sufficient experience and knowledge.

You can buy the Estonia e-residency, it costs like $100. You will get an official card from the government, as the pic below. Once you get it, you can do a lot of things directly from your house. Open an EU company, to do administrative papers, open a bank account, etc (everything in English, even govt. websites are in En)
The licence is of course delivered by a government jurisdiction (I can't remember the licence name but easy to find on govt websites)

I am curious to know more details about your services. What kind of licence will you provide who is not live on Estonia jurisdiction? Licence will come from where, is it from Estonian government or from your company? I don't see any benefits if licence provide by your company. So how licence will be issue if I am not resident of Estonia. I am not sure why government will give licence on my name if I am not live on their country physically. If licence not under my name then its useless. So if it's possible really that you will be able to provide a license from government with owner name then you might get lot of clients.

But how people will trust you? Are you using forum escrow? If not then I would like to discourage everyone about use your services.

Yes, we will. Wrote you pm 

Thank you!

I am going to visit Malta Blockchain Summit, which is on 7-8 november, if you also will participate, please contact me I will be happy to discuss some more details

How long does it take to obtain licenses?

Hi, Michael!
Here some reasons to start business in Estonia:
Corporate income tax in Estonia is 0%!
This is useful for all businessmen, that use the company income not for payments to physical persons, but as investment into future development of the business.
No requirement to form the share capital (min. 2 500 euros) during the company registration, it can be merely declared.
An option to establish and manage the company distantly without personal visit to Estonia. It is simple and quickly.
A non-resident of Estonia may be an owner of the company and the member of the management board.
An option to receive VAT number both in Estonia and the EU states. The active EU directive regarding turnover tax of 2006 allows the use of 0% tax rate for turnover within EU.
Low company upkeep costs (approximately 500 euro per annum).
Estonian is on of the most progressive countries in the field of Internet use. Almost all tasks regarding cooperation with state institutions may be resolved through Internet.
Estonia signed and ratified over 55 agreements for avoidance of double taxation. This makes your business competitive and legal from the point of profit distribution.

Estonia is one of first countries in the world to provide legal regulation to the field of cryptocurrency and also one of the most IT advanced jurisdictions. Modern solutions, developed IT sector and a stable legal base, designed to attract businessmen and investors are the most crucial keystones and beneficial attributes of Estonia.

Good day, here you can find some additional information


1. Can you provide some more information about these 3 licenses?

The licenses, requirements for obtaining them and regulation regarding the work with these licenses is set in the Money Laundering Prevention legislation and international Money laundering prevention standards.
These licenses have been implemented into the legislation with the purpose of regulating the cryptocurrency market.
Operation under these licenses provides a legal background for the company, proving that it acts in accordance with the international money laundering prevention standards.

2. What exactly do they allow?

They allow to carry out the emission of your own cryptocurrency and exchange it to fiat or other cryptocurrencies and vice versa.
Open cryptocurrency wallets for the clients.
Perform fiat to fiat currency exchange (please note that this license, requires a physical address in Estonia, so you will have to rent out and office, or buy it).

The company with said license will be able to establish a crypto-exchange or initiate and legally carry out an ICO project.

3. Why should someone get them?

The fact that the company has appropriate licenses proves that the company is not involved with money laundering or illegal activities. This increases a measure of trust in the company from potential clients, as currently the amount of various fraudulent cryptocurrency projects are fairly high, as many use the lack of solid legal regulation in many countries.

4. Are they applicable all over Europe?

The company can provide services to people from other countries, but the local regulation in any one country may have its own specifics.

For example, provision of services to clients from USA must first be coordinated with FATCA and SEC and only qualified investors may be allowed to use the service.

5. What is the advantage of paying you 6000 EUR to get these licenses?

We find that our price for the licenses is reasonable. Identical licenses in other jurisdictions, for example on Malta, can cost up to 100 000 euros.

We provide the necessary services for obtaining the licenses:
We draw up the appropriate application, draw up the necessary AML policy for the company, Sanctions policy in accordance with the current regulation, carry out the translation of the required documentation you will be required to provide.
We also provide legal support during the licensing proceedings.
The price includes the state fee.

Please note, that our current price shall remain only up until the end of this year. After that the legislation will be made stricter and the prices shall go up. The state fee for one license alone will be around 3000 euros.

After a bit of research, I've found their vat number: EE101613008
You can check it in the VIES database: http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/vatRequest.html
