Mitch Riley

“Advapay is our long standing partner that has been helping us navigate Canadian regulatory landscape since early 2023. Advapay’s team of seasoned industry professionals played a significant role in turning our vision for becoming a major remittance aggregator into reality. Given that our business involves operations in some higher risk countries also, Advapay’s expertise in developing and implementing a robust compliance program has been ensuring our safe and sound operations.”

Raj Hajela

Founder & Director of Remittances Hub

“As Xflow decided to expand its services, we started looking into Canadian MSB registration as a quick and efficient way to operate under our own financial license. We were referred to Advapay by our partners and friends, and it was spot on. Advapay’s team has clearly explained all the features of the MSB registration and took care of the whole project in Canada. We are highly satisfied with Advapay’s services and can recommend them for other Fintechs that are interested in Canadian MSB registration”
