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.

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.

-
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
