From the first step to the final filing.
We are not a consultancy. We come from inside fintechs and regulated payment firms — the same desks you sit at — and we have walked every step of the EU-licensing path before. We can help you because we have done it.
From fintech, not consultancy
Our team has spent years inside payment institutions, EMIs and crypto firms — running operations, sitting in front of regulators, owning the inbox when the questionnaire lands. We bring that operator perspective to every engagement.
End-to-end execution
Feasibility memo, application file, regulator dialogue, post-grant onboarding, ongoing reporting. One team, one accountable contact — from the first 30-minute call to the final supervisory return.
Plain-English delivery
No magic-circle ceremony, no graduate intake, no billable-hour ladder. Fixed fees, written deliverables, a feasibility memo within five business days. If a regulation can’t be explained in two paragraphs, we don’t understand it well enough yet.
Built by people who have filed the file.
The market for cross-border EU regulatory work is split between two extremes — magic-circle law firms charging by the hour for partners you rarely meet, and offshore “licence factories” that hand you a template and disappear when the regulator asks a real question.
Fintech Passport sits in the middle, on purpose. We are operator-led: every engagement is run by someone who has been on the in-house side of the same conversation. We know which questions the desk officer at DNB or ACPR really cares about, because we have answered them before.
That is the only competitive advantage we claim — and we tell you straight when something is outside it.
01 · Plain English
If a regulation can’t be explained in two paragraphs, we don’t understand it well enough yet.
02 · Fixed fees
Every engagement is quoted as a single number. No timesheet roulette, no surprise reviews.
03 · Transparent, always
We tell you straight. If something can’t be done, or if we are not the right team for it, we will say so on the first call — and refer you to the partner network we’d use ourselves.
04 · Operator-led
You speak to the person who owns the file, from feasibility memo to onward passport notice. Not a juniorised pyramid behind a partner name on the bill.
