The Czech Republic, like Poland, does not set complex requirements for applicants. First of all, the employees of your organization must have an excellent reputation and no criminal record.
In addition, you need to verify all clients. So, everyone registering on your platform must provide proof of identity and place of residence. You cannot serve people who have previously been involved in fraud, money laundering, or financial terrorism.
You are required to keep all transaction information. If the specialists of your company notice fraudulent actions on the part of customers or other employees, they are obliged to report this to the state authorities. You need ample storage to store large amounts of data; you can buy special servers or use cloud storage.
Your organization should employ an anti-money laundering specialist. Their responsibilities include monitoring customer transactions and employee actions and providing reports to government agencies. Such a specialist must have an excellent reputation, work experience in a similar position, and specialized education, so a lot of attention must be paid to the choice of this employee.
If your organization meets at least one of the requirements, government agencies may refuse to license you, so you should contact independent experts who can check this in advance.
