What BHL FINTECH support includes

We do not treat FINTECH work as a single isolated service. The goal is to build a workable and compliant setup: a legal structure, internal policies, and a communication strategy that make sense to banks, payment providers and regulators.

1) Bank account opening (corporate / personal) Preparation for bank compliance and support throughout the onboarding process.
  • corporate bank accounts;
  • personal accounts;
  • support for foreign clients;
  • compliance document preparation;
  • bank communication until outcome.
2) Crypto & digital assets (VCSP) Legal support for licensing and compliant operations in crypto and blockchain-related projects.
  • crypto activity licensing;
  • legal structuring of crypto businesses;
  • bank and regulator interaction;
  • internal policies and procedures;
  • regulatory/compliance risk reduction.
3) Gambling & online platform licensing Support for licensing and ongoing legal operation of gaming and gambling projects.
  • online and offline gambling licences;
  • operator legal preparation;
  • regulator communication support;
  • payment flow structuring;
  • ongoing legal support.
4) Merchant accounts & high-risk payment solutions Payment infrastructure setup for online services, digital platforms and international high-risk projects.
  • merchant account onboarding;
  • payment provider connections;
  • high-risk operations support;
  • legal adaptation of business model;
  • lower refusal/blocking risk.
5) Compliance and AML/KYC support Internal policies and compliance documentation for banks, PSPs and regulatory reviews.
  • AML/KYC policy drafting;
  • internal compliance documentation;
  • bank review support;
  • regulatory requirements guidance;
  • regulatory and operational risk reduction.
In FINTECH, “launch first, compliance later” usually causes delays and refusals. It is almost always better to build the model for compliance from day one.

Who this is for

This support is designed for businesses that need more than a company registration — they need a clear legal model, transparent operations, and a compliance package that can pass real-world checks.

FINTECH and payment businesses Payment services, integrations, processing models, cross-border payment operations.
Crypto and digital asset projects VCSP-type businesses, exchanges, blockchain services, and digital asset operations.
High-risk online businesses Online platforms and sectors facing enhanced bank and PSP compliance requirements.
If you already received bank or provider refusals, that usually means the legal/compliance package needs to be strengthened — not that the project is impossible.

How we work on a FINTECH project

We do not start by “sending applications everywhere.” We start with legal and compliance diagnostics: what you do, how your model looks from a bank/provider perspective, and which path is most realistic.

Step 1 — Initial model review We review your project type (banking / VCSP / gambling / merchant / AML), jurisdiction and risk profile.
Step 2 — Legal & compliance preparation We build or improve the legal structure, documentation package and positioning for banks/providers/regulators.
Step 3 — Communication support We support interaction with banks, payment providers and regulators throughout the process.
Step 4 — Clarifications & adjustments We handle follow-up requests, strengthen documents and adapt the setup where needed.
Step 5 — Launch / onboarding outcome We work toward a concrete result: account, licence, merchant setup or compliance readiness.
Step 6 — Ongoing support If needed, we continue supporting your operations and later reviews.

Core directions: banking, licences, payments, compliance

Bank account opening For companies and individuals. The key is compliance readiness: source of funds, business model clarity, tax position, activity description and supporting documents that make sense to the bank.
VCSP / crypto / digital assets We help build a lawful and transparent setup aligned with regulator and bank expectations: licensing, internal procedures, compliance architecture, and operational structure.
Gambling licensing We support licensing and legal setup for online/offline gambling operators, including regulator-facing preparation and legal support for ongoing operations.
Merchant + high-risk payments Merchant onboarding and PSP setup for high-risk segments, legal adaptation of the business model, and support aimed at reducing onboarding failures and account/payment disruptions.
In FINTECH, “quick launch first, compliance later” usually causes delays, refusals and rework. It is almost always better to build the model for compliance from day one.

AML/KYC and bank compliance support as a separate block

Even if you already have a company and a basic structure, AML/KYC documentation and internal procedures are often the bottleneck during bank onboarding, merchant setup and later compliance reviews.

AML/KYC policies Drafting and adapting policies to your actual business model and risk profile.
Internal documentation Forms, procedures, internal rules and compliance files for onboarding and reviews.
Support during checks Assistance with bank questionnaires, PSP requests and compliance communication.
If the business model is described vaguely or the compliance package is generic/template-based, banks and providers usually spot this immediately.

Why FINTECH clients choose BHL

We combine legal work with compliance logic. This matters in sectors where decisions are made not only on legal grounds, but also through bank and PSP risk models.

FINTECH regulatory focus We work at the intersection of law, banking practice and regulatory expectations.
High-risk experience We understand real questions banks and payment providers ask high-risk businesses.
Integrated approach Legal structure + AML/KYC + communication support = a more sustainable outcome.
Foreign and cross-border clients We support non-residents, international structures and multi-jurisdiction business models.
Confidentiality and results We work carefully and pragmatically, focused on launch readiness and risk reduction.

What to prepare for an initial project review

You do not need a perfect document package on day one. But the clearer the input information, the faster we can define a workable legal and compliance strategy.

Minimum to start
  • product/service description;
  • target jurisdiction (Bosnia / RS / Serbia);
  • who your clients are and how payments flow;
  • what you need now: account / licence / merchant / AML.
If you already have a structure
  • company and beneficial owner details;
  • website / landing page / project deck;
  • existing policies and compliance documents;
  • bank/provider refusal letters (if any).

If you only have an idea at this stage, that is also fine. We can help define the legal and compliance roadmap from scratch.

FINTECH support fees

Fees depend on the task (bank accounts, licensing, merchant/high-risk setup, AML/KYC), jurisdiction, complexity, readiness of documents and the expected amount of communication with banks, PSPs and regulators.

What affects pricing

  • service type (account / licence / merchant / AML);
  • jurisdiction and regulatory burden;
  • high-risk profile and model complexity;
