Hong Kong Money Service Operator (MSO) License #1010 For Sale

Hong Kong Money Service Operator (MSO) License #1010 For Sale

Overview: Licensed MSO Entity

A rare chance to acquire a fully licensed MSO entity, regulated under Hong Kong’s Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Ordinance (AMLO) and supervised by the Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department. This license enables legal operation of money changing and remittance services within one of Asia’s leading financial hubs.

Why Hong Kong MSO?

The MSO license is essential for any company providing:

• Currency exchange (money changing) services

• Local and international remittance services

• Fintech-driven or virtual account fund flows

With heightened regulatory standards, an MSO license signals a high level of operational compliance — making it a valuable asset for financial operators in Asia-Pacific and beyond.

Entity Highlights

This opportunity involves a Hong Kong-registered entity that has operated a physical retail money service business, now available for full transfer.

Key Details:

• License Validity: Active until November 2025

• Business Activities: Cross-border (China-Hong Kong) remittance & foreign exchange

• Corporate Structure: Limited company in good standing

• Retail Presence: Two active shopfronts

  • Shop 1: HKD 95,000/month (lease ends August)

  • Shop 2: HKD 46,000/month

• Banking: Operational virtual account via RD Technologies with DBS Bank

• Compliance Status: No tax liabilities; annual audits conducted

Strategic Benefits

1. Seamless Operational Continuity
   The current director is available to stay onboard through the next license renewal cycle, offering new owners up to 2 years before needing to complete MSO compliance examinations.

2. Clean Regulatory History
   Seller guarantees responsibility for any past tax or customer issues (none currently existing), with liability capped at HKD 350,000 — giving buyers confidence in the entity’s standing.

3. Virtual Banking Access via RD Technologies
   Access to a functioning virtual account with DBS Bank is already established — a major advantage, as MSO banking relationships are extremely difficult to secure in Hong Kong. This is powered by RD Technologies, a regulated Stored Value Facility (SVF) provider led by the former Chief Executive of the HKMA.

About RD Technologies

RD Technologies was founded to address the banking challenges faced by licensed MSOs in Hong Kong. Through its SVF license, RD enables eligible MSOs to open sub-accounts with DBS Bank under a master account. This structure ensures proper fund segregation, client transparency, and streamlined reconciliation — all fully compliant with AML/CTF regulations.

Who Should Consider This Opportunity?

This MSO entity is an ideal acquisition for:

• Existing FX or remittance providers seeking immediate Hong Kong market access

• Financial institutions expanding into the Greater Bay Area

• Investors targeting regulated, cash flow-generating assets

• Cross-border operators in need of a compliant structure for fund movement
