Recruiting &
Setting Up Local Office

Most financial licenses require having local operations and setting up the local office.

This means you need to have a local person as the board member of the company, and potentially additional requirements depending on the license you’re applying for. For example, virtual currency service providers, E-Money Institutions and Payment Institutions need to have employees and operations in the country.

At Comistar we are constantly widening our network of people in the Fintech industry. We help our clients to recruit the needed people as well as to find a local office space.
