How do I check a payment license or Hong Kong MSO?

Find candidate records by legal name, license number or jurisdiction, then verify the linked source. For Hong Kong MSO, use the Customs MSOS register and compare the legal name, number, visible status and premises; record the lookup date.

How do MSO, SVF and VASP / VATP differ?

Hong Kong Customs supervises MSO remittance and money changing; HKMA supervises stored value facilities (SVF); the SFC licenses virtual asset trading platforms (VATP), while VASP is a virtual asset service term. Assess the actual activities separately; MSO does not replace SVF or platform permissions.

What are the directory sources and limits?

The portal compiles public regulator records with source links. It is not a live regulator system and may omit entities or recent changes. Verify brands, legal entities and card products separately. A missing number or unknown capability does not establish that an entity is unlicensed or a feature unsupported; original sources govern.
