Licencing and authorisations

We are highly experienced in guiding financial institutions and market participants through licensing procedures with the Dutch Central Bank (DNB) and the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM). We support clients in obtaining the necessary authorisations to operate in the Netherlands and across Europe.

Our services cover the entire licensing process — from initial feasibility assessments and preparation of application documents to communication with supervisory authorities and the implementation of regulatory requirements. We ensure that our clients comply with applicable laws and regulations, including the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wft), as well as European frameworks such as CRD/CRR, MiFID II, AIFMD, and PSD2.

With deep regulatory expertise and extensive experience dealing with supervisors, we help clients obtain authorisations efficiently while minimising supervisory risk and reducing the likelihood of delays in the process.
