Banking & Credit Institution Licence
Get in Touch with NAME
CSB Group assists clients with obtaining a Maltese banking license which is passportable throughout the EU. Malta provides an optimum platform for those seeking to enter the European market place for banking services. Living up to its catch-phrase of ‘innovation through regulation’, Malta’s regulator (MFSA) has created an advantageous environment of efficiency and reduced bureaucracy for the benefit of international credit and financial institutions. Malta boasts a very reputable and robust banking sector. The World Economic Forum has in fact ranked Malta 13th out of 143 countries in terms of the soundness of its banking system.
