Forex Licenses, EMI & Payment Institutions for Sale

Buy Licensed Financial Institutions Worldwide

Zitadelle AG assists investors, fintech entrepreneurs, and brokerage groups in the acquisition of licensed financial institutions worldwide, including:

• Forex broker licenses for sale

• Electronic Money Institutions (EMIs)

• Payment institutions and PSP licenses

• Crypto platforms and fintech infrastructure

• Regulated financial companies with existing operations

For many financial services businesses, buying a licensed company is significantly faster than applying for a new license. Regulatory approvals for forex brokers, payment institutions, or fintech companies often require 12–24 months of regulatory review, capital verification, and compliance checks.

Acquiring an existing licensed financial company allows operators to enter regulated markets immediately, often with existing infrastructure, compliance frameworks, and banking relationships.

Zitadelle AG provides access to curated opportunities to acquire regulated companies in Europe, the UK, Asia, and emerging fintech markets.
