Can My Company Operate and Deal with Crypto Without a License?

If your activity is related to crypto in any way, you need to evaluate if your business needs a license before you start to operate.

If your business activity requires a license, we unfortunately cannot provide you with our services. Activities that we cannot accommodate include:

• NFT-related activities
• ICOs/IPOs
• Launching cryptocurrency exchanges
• Cryptocurrency mining operations

Companio supports specific crypto-related business activities, provided they fall within the permitted scope described below.

How to Know if I Require a License?

Usually, if your activity includes only:

• Receiving payments for your services or digital products in crypto.
• Paying for deductible expenses (services or products) for your company in crypto.
• Investing in regulated crypto platforms.
• Exchanging crypto through approved banking channels (example, Revolut Business). Only for corporate bank accounts that support this exchange within the own balances of the account.

None of these activities will require you to obtain a license.

The business must own and use a dedicated corporate crypto wallet for all cryptocurrencies it uses. This wallet must be opened in the name of the company, and company funds must remain strictly separated from any personal wallets or funds belonging to shareholders, directors, or other companies.

In other cases, or if your business activity involves crypto in a more complicated way, you need to contact a legal firm that can evaluate if your business requires a license. In case of requiring a license, you need to look for another provider that supports your activity.

If you have any questions about this, you can contact our Customer Support team or for more information, check our Supported Banks and Crypto Wallets Policy.
