FinTech & Digital Assets

Licensing, compliance and structuring for payments, crypto and digital-asset ventures.

Overview

Payments, digital assets and lending platforms sit in the most closely supervised part of the UAE market. Which regulator applies, what the licence permits and what capital stands behind it are settled before a product launches, not after.

We advise on the authorisation a fintech actually needs, the structure that supports it, and the contracts that connect it to banks, partners and customers.

Regulatory perimeter Whether the activity is regulated, by whom, and what an authorisation would cover — before you build to it.
Licensing Applications and supporting documentation to the relevant authority in the chosen jurisdiction.
Structuring Group and entity structures, holding companies and vehicles that match the licensed activity.
Compliance framework Anti-money-laundering obligations, reporting duties, and registration on the goAML platform where it applies.
Commercial agreements Bank and partner arrangements, customer terms, and outsourcing of regulated functions.
