Looking to buy an API

We Will Buy API / MSB / MSO

Acquiring Licensed Payment Companies: API (UK), MSB/MTL (US), MSO (HK)

We are looking to acquire a ready-to-operate payment company: in the United Kingdom (FCA API), in the United States (FinCEN MSB + a portfolio of MTLs), and in Hong Kong (MSO). Priority — assets that can be quickly put into operation after change of control: valid license, mature AML/KYC policies, transparent UBO structure.

Our goal is a fast, clean transaction with clear terms. We highly value existing banking/correspondent relationships, live integrations with providers, as well as established risk-management and compliance processes. We do not consider assets with sanctions exposure or unresolved regulatory actions.

We are open to both “clean” shells and companies with a small client portfolio. For an initial review, please send a brief info pack (license, jurisdiction, structure, compliance status) via Telegram.

What we seek to buy (by jurisdiction)

  • United Kingdom (UK): full-scope API under FCA supervision (not SPI). Preferably with established compliance processes, operational readiness, and integrations with providers/payment partners.
  • United States (US): MSB registered with FinCEN with a portfolio of state MTLs (a minimally covered set is a plus). Integrations with banks/PSPs are welcome.
  • Hong Kong (HK): MSO (Money Service Operator) with a valid license, no critical remedial actions, and clear AML/CFT policies.

Note: “API” is used here as a generic reference to licensed payment institutions; for the US/Hong Kong we consider local equivalents (MSB/MTL, MSO).

Baseline Criteria

  • Valid license with no revocations/suspensions/critical fines.
  • Transparent beneficial ownership (UBO) structure; no sanctions risk.
  • Compliance pack: AML/KYC/CFT policies, risk management, audit/inspection logs.
  • Operational readiness: core IT infrastructure, providers, onboarding/monitoring procedures.
  • Financial condition: no material hidden liabilities, tax or litigation risks.

Would be a Plus

  • Existing banking/correspondent relationships and live integrations.
  • Policies aligned with regulatory requirements; audits/inspections passed without remarks.
  • Documented processes (onboarding, transaction monitoring, SAR/STR, etc.).

What We Do Not Consider

  • Licenses that are suspended/restricted or have unresolved critical regulatory actions.
  • Non-transparent ownership or unclear source of funds.
