Frequently Asked Questions

How to get MSB certification?

For most businesses, the process is not a general "MSB certification" but registration, licensing, and compliance setup based on your activities and jurisdiction. In Texas, that often means confirming whether your model qualifies as a money services business, preparing required filings, building AML and policy documentation, and ensuring your controls are ready for regulator and banking review before launch.
