The Isle of Man Financial Services Authority requires businesses providing money transmission services with an annual turnover below £50,000 to submit this notification form instead of applying for a full license. Applicants must declare their business details, specify the types of money transmission activities undertaken, and confirm compliance with the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Code 2015. This notification must be completed and returned to the Authority before commencing any money transmission services to qualify for the regulatory exemption.

Isle of Man Financial Services Authority May 2018 Page 2 of 6 Notes The Financial Services Act 2008 requires those undertaking money transmission services in or from the Island to be licensed by the Isle of Man Financial Services Authority (“the Authority”). However, under the Financial Services (Exemptions) Regulations 2011, a business with a turnover of less than £50,000 during the previous 12 calendar months, and which continues to have an annual turnover below £50,000, does not need to be licensed, provided it has notified the Authority that it is undertaking money transmission services. This notification form is to be completed by any business which intends to take advantage of the exemption from licensing due to having an annual turnover below £50,000. Any business intending to commence money transmission services must notify the Authority before doing so. It is recommended that anyone completing this form should read and make themselves familiar with paragraph and 8.1 of the Financial Services (Exemptions) Regulations 2011. Please complete all sections of the form. Where something is not applicable please write “N/A” beside the question. The form can be downloaded from our website in Microsoft Word format, with boxes that will expand to fit the text. Alternatively, the applicant can print the form and complete it in black ink.
