Register money transaction offices
What can you find in this register?
Pursuant to the Money Transactions Offices Act (Wet inzake de geldtransactiekantoren), money transactions offices may only engage in money exchange operations in the Netherlands after having obtained a licence from DNB, unless they have been granted exemption or dispensation from the licensing requirement. In the context of the Money Transactions Offices Act, this licence is known as a registration. The registration requirement applies to both Dutch and foreign undertakings.
Money transfers, which were previously also regarded as money transactions within the meaning of the Money Transactions Offices Act, are covered by the legal framework applicable to payment institutions since the introduction of the Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht).
Supervision
DNB supervises money transactions offices with a DNB registration for money exchange operations.
