Understanding FINTRAC registration
FINTRAC is Canada’s financial intelligence unit responsible for administering Canada’s anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing framework.
A FINTRAC MSB registration is not a government-issued operating license. Instead, eligible businesses are registered with FINTRAC and appear on the public MSB Register while remaining subject to ongoing compliance, reporting and record-keeping obligations under Canadian law.
Businesses that conduct regulated payment activities involving end-user funds may also need to register with the Bank of Canada under the Retail Payment Activities Act (RPAA), depending on their business model.
