Frequently asked questions
Careful, informative answers consistent with our pre-authorisation status.
Discuss your use caseIs Fintech Meta a bank?
No. Fintech Meta UAB is developing B2B payment and digital-asset infrastructure and is not a bank.
Is Fintech Meta currently licensed?
No. Fintech Meta is currently pre-authorisation. The platform and regulatory programme are in development, and no regulated payment or crypto-asset services are currently provided.
Which businesses are expected to be eligible?
The platform is being designed for selected digital businesses that can demonstrate legal authority, transparent ownership and understandable money flows — including gaming and esports, licensed gambling, regulated fintech, crypto and Web3, marketplaces and international networks. Being in a supported sector does not guarantee acceptance.
Can Fintech Meta support licensed gambling operators?
The intention is to support licensed gambling operators that can evidence the relevant licences, approved domains and market-specific permissions. A payment provider's authorisation does not replace an operator's own gambling licence, which remains the operator's responsibility.
Can Fintech Meta support crypto and Web3 companies?
The intention is to support identifiable legal entities such as authorised CASPs, token issuers, foundations and institutional treasury users. Crypto-asset availability is expected to be restricted and jurisdiction dependent.
Which crypto-assets are expected to be supported?
The plan is to begin with a narrow, well-understood set of supported assets, with an emphasis on compliant stablecoins for settlement, expanding deliberately as controls mature.
How would customer funds be safeguarded?
The intended model separates client funds from corporate funds and reconciles safeguarded balances against client obligations daily, supported by a double-entry ledger and a clear audit trail. Safeguarding will apply once the relevant authorisation is in place.
Can Fintech Meta serve businesses throughout the EEA?
Any future ability to serve businesses across the EEA will depend on the authorisations obtained and the applicable passporting or local requirements. This cannot be assumed today.
Will every applicant be accepted?
No. Fintech Meta is being designed to be selective. Businesses are assessed on evidence, and not every applicant will be accepted.
What information is needed for an initial assessment?
In general terms: corporate and ownership documents, ultimate beneficial owner evidence, relevant licences, the markets you serve, a description of your money flows and key counterparties, and realistic expected volumes. Do not submit identity documents, private keys or confidential customer data through public channels.
