SALVUS successfully facilitates the acquisition of Canadian MSB

By SALVUS Team News FINTRAC, FINTRAC MSB registration, Mergers and acquisitions, MSB

SALVUS is pleased to announce the successful completion of the acquisition of a FINTRAC-registered Canadian Money Services Business (MSB).  

The Canadian MSB attracted strong interest due to its active registration with the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC), its readiness to support a broad range of money services activities, and its ability to offer a credible and compliant regulatory platform within one of the world’s most stable and well-regulated financial markets.

SALVUS played a key role in the transaction by sourcing the FINTRAC-registered MSB for the buyer, supporting the seller in the preparation and organisation of the required regulatory and transactional documentation, and coordinating communications between all parties. SALVUS managed the process from initial negotiations through to execution, resulting in the successful completion of the acquisition.

This successful EfS™ sale further demonstrates SALVUS’ track record in facilitating cross-border M&A transactions involving regulated financial services entities across multiple jurisdictions.
