PSP Poland

Poland’s regulatory framework for payment services aligns with EU standards, making it an attractive destination for companies seeking PSP or E-money licenses in Europe. Here’s an overview of the two main licenses available in Poland:
MIP (Small Payment Institution): A streamlined license for startups and smaller businesses, allowing domestic payment services in Poland. It offers a simplified regulatory process but comes with limitations on transaction volume and geographical scope.
KIP (National Payment Institution): A comprehensive license for larger companies that allows for EU-wide operations under passporting rights. This license is ideal for businesses offering cross-border payment services and requires higher capital and stringent compliance measures.
