Start with the regulated activities
List remittance, acquiring, e-money, account-information and virtual asset activities separately. Assess customer locations, funds handling and establishment against each relevant framework.
Use jurisdiction-specific checklists
Use MAS service and licence categories for Singapore, the FCA application route for the UK, and the Bank of Lithuania EMI form and Annex 1 checklist for Lithuania. A dossier is not portable unchanged between jurisdictions.
Build a preparation inventory
As a planning aid, assign owners to the business model, ownership, governance, safeguarding, AML, security and outsourcing workstreams. Track evidence, implementation and gaps. This is not a universal statutory checklist.
Submission and follow-up
Use current official forms and retain the submitted version. Reconcile requested changes across plans, budgets and controls so their assumptions remain consistent.
