Description

Established U.S.-licensed MSB with a 20-year operating history, active money-transmitter licenses across six states, plus a pending application in a major eastern market. The company also holds a regulated-lender license in pilot operation, with an additional lending-license application pending in a major western state. Profitable single-corridor remittance operator today — sufficient regulatory and operational footprint for an incoming owner to expand into additional corridors, crypto-fiat services, or adjacent consumer-lending products without re-litigating regulatory approval. Includes a direct U.S. banking relationship (cash + non-cash), a card-processor relationship, EU/UK origination via a licensed European partner under white-label, and full IP ownership of the proprietary iOS and Android consumer apps.

Type: Money Services Business (MTL) + Regulated Lender; Status: Active, Profitable, 20-Year Operating History; Structure: 100% Member-Interest Sale (LLC); Coverage: 6 Active State MTLs + 1 Pending (Major Eastern Market) + Regulated Lender (1 State) + 1 Pending Lending License.

Key highlights: 6 active state money-transmitter licenses across major U.S. markets; 1 pending money-transmitter application in a large eastern market; Regulated Lender license in pilot operation (1 state) + 1 pending lending-license application; 20-year clean operating history; consistently profitable; Direct U.S. bank relationship covering cash and non-cash transactions; Debit/credit card-processor relationship in place; Full IP ownership of proprietary iOS and Android remittance apps; Established integrations with tier-1 global remittance and payout networks (Asia, LATAM, EU, China); White-label EU/UK origination capability via licensed European partner; Operating footprint includes 2 owned retail locations + 4 agent relationships.

Building a U.S.-licensed remittance platform from scratch — multi-state coverage, a working banking relationship, a card-processor relationship, international payout integrations, and proprietary consumer mobile apps — typically takes 18–30 months and $1.5M+ in licensing, surety bonds, banking onboarding, and engineering. This opportunity delivers that footprint immediately, plus material expansion headroom: the seller has operated profitably in a single primary corridor, leaving a clear runway for the incoming owner to add corridors, crypto-fiat services, or adjacent products without re-litigating regulatory approval.

Time-to-market collapses from years to weeks; 20-year operating record reduces regulatory friction at change-of-control review; Existing banking and card-processor relationships skip the typical 12–18 month onboarding cycle; Single-corridor concentration today translates directly to expansion headroom tomorrow; Active lending license enables product diversification beyond pure remittance; Full IP on consumer apps avoids vendor lock-in or platform-licensing fees.

Ideal acquirers: Crypto-native platforms seeking compliant U.S. fiat on/off-ramp infrastructure; Cross-border remittance operators wanting to expand their U.S. state footprint; Fintechs adding U.S. money-transmission to existing international payment offerings; Lending platforms looking to bundle remittance into a multi-product consumer offering; Diaspora-focused community banks or credit unions formalizing remittance corridors; International payment operators building a regulated U.S. market entry.

Strategic use cases: Add crypto on/off-ramp services to a regulated U.S. MTL platform; Open new remittance corridors (LATAM, Asia, MENA, Africa) leveraging existing partner integrations; Bundle remittance and small-dollar consumer lending under a single licensed entity; White-label the U.S. licensing footprint to other regulated fintechs; Activate the pending eastern-market application and continue state expansion; Use the existing EU/UK origination relationship to operate transatlantic flows end-to-end.

Important notes: Seller identity is confidential; Additional documentation available post-qualification; NDA may be required prior to full disclosure; U.S. money-transmitter licenses are not transferable — transaction is structured as acquisition of control over the licensed LLC, subject to State change-of-control vetting (typically triggered at greater-than-10% control change); Seller available to provide post-close transition support to ensure smooth handover and regulatory continuity; Certain liabilities, agent relationships, and software-vendor agreements survive the transaction and will be disclosed under NDA.
