The reality for money remittance businesses
Your challenges, solved
The challenges you face
-
De-risking is relentless
Remittance is a top de-risking target. Correspondent and retail banking can disappear with little notice.
-
FINTRAC is revoking registrations
Dozens of MSB registrations were revoked in a single quarter, often for missed 30-day information requests or weak programs.
-
Moving money in and out of Canada is hard
Cross-border payments face corridor risk, correspondent screening, and partners who need to trust your compliance before they’ll move funds.
-
KYC is a constant challenge
High volumes, new corridors, and repeat senders make know-your-customer one of the hardest parts of running a remittance business.

FAQ
Money Remittance compliance questions
Do money remittance businesses need to register with FINTRAC?
Yes. Money transfer and remittance businesses are money services businesses (MSBs) and must register with FINTRAC. If you also perform retail payment activities, RPAA registration may apply too.
How do remittance businesses keep banking and payment rails?
Remittance is a top de-risking target. We build a bank-ready file, manage regulator information requests, and keep your program audit-ready so your rails stay open.
Do I need RPAA registration for a remittance business?
If you move funds for others as a payment service provider, you may need to register with the Bank of Canada under the RPAA on top of FINTRAC. We handle both regimes.
