How to Get Crypto License in Czech?

The Czech Republic is widely known among crypto entrepreneurs as the jurisdiction is open to advanced technologies and ensures strict compliance standards. 

Launching a crypto project here, including a crypto exchange, appears to be profitable, taking into account the favorable conditions of the local regulatory environment. Applying for and keeping a Czech Republic cryptocurrency exchange license https://prifinance.com/en/cryptocurrency-license/czech-republic/ active is a core regulatory aspect that brings legality to a commercial project. Of course, there are many other important points to draw attention to. Prifinance lawyers are ready to cover all of them briefly to make the reader better informed on the matter. 

Core Aspects Establishing a Business in the Czech Republic

Before applying for a crypto license, it is compulsory to incorporate a local Czech company that will act as an applicant and a service provider. You may register new or buy a ready-formed company. This company should have a clear structure and provide all the details attributed to its management and beneficiaries. The entity acting as an applicant should also have internal policies (AML/CTF, monitoring, reporting, etc.), enough material, IT, and financial resources to keep the project active.  

The Czech law prescribes several grounds that enable the denial of the application. The application documents filled incorrectly may become the legal reason for the rejection. If one of the business owners and some key team members (a director, for instance) have criminal records, the application may also be denied.  Failing to prove the legal origin of the funds used for launching the project may also serve as the ground for denial. 

Even after getting a license, its holder has to make periodic verifications and submit reports about its activities. Extra and more detailed checking is required in each case of a suspicious transaction.
