We offer our services to international companies from various jurisdiction which operate in different verticals such as Ecommerce, technology, IT, Gaming, Marketing, R&D which are considered relatively low to medium-risk.
Recently I see many new EMIs and its quite difficult to track all of them. In my opinion, we will see many acquisitions in the near future and the EMIs who are challenging to maintain regulations, will either merge with stronger ones who have managed keep up with compliance and keep growing their customer base.so it is very important to choose the right EMI to work with in order to maintain a sustainable environment.
First main opportunity is making digital banking services more accessible for new clients, the millennian generation who are more open to work with new technologies and services. The use of mobile will continue to increase and more sophisticated services and apps are available. Also, the European union is becoming more attractive and major player in tech industries related to online business such as IT Development, Financials, entertainment and crypto industry and those clients require advance knowledge and services.
