Frequently asked questions

What are the risks associated with obtaining a licence independently?

The main risks include refusal to issue a licence due to incomplete or incorrect documentation, key employees' qualifications not meeting the Fit and Proper requirements, and insufficient development of the internal control system. The KNF carefully checks all aspects of the application, and even minor discrepancies can lead to delays or refusal.

How long is the CASP licence valid for?

The CASP licence is issued without any time limit, provided that regulatory requirements are consistently met. However, MiCA requires an annual audit. The regulator may revoke the licence if the conditions for its issuance are violated or if the company is unable to maintain compliance with MiCA requirements.

Is it possible to work in other EU countries with a Polish CASP licence?

Yes, a CASP licence obtained in Poland is valid in all 27 EU countries under the single passport principle. To start operating in another EU country, you only need to notify the local regulator through the ‘passporting’ procedure without having to obtain a separate licence.

What additional services may be required after obtaining a licence?

After obtaining a CASP licence, services are usually required for regulatory reporting, ongoing monitoring of MiCA compliance, and updating internal procedures when there are changes in the regulator or business processes. It is also necessary to regularly train staff on new requirements and industry best practices.
