What is offered
A shelf / ready-made MSB registered company in Canada
A shelf MSB Canada (also called a ready-made MSB Canada, turnkey MSB Canada, or ready MSB for sale) is a company that is already incorporated and has an active MSB registration in Canada.
Instead of starting from zero, you are acquiring an entity that is already set up to support a regulated money-services business model, subject to the specific MSB services and details attached to that entity.
What “ready-made MSB” means in practical terms
Ready-made” is not a buzzword. It means practical time savings and fewer moving parts:
- Faster time-to-market vs forming and registering from scratch
- Existing corporate structure ready for change of control (share transfer / director updates)
- A defined path for MSB change of ownership update and related detail changes
- Operational continuity planning: handover materials, access, and next steps (as applicable)
Options vary by company (activities/permissions depend on the specific entity)
Not every MSB-registered company is identical. MSB services offered, geographic footprint, agents/locations, and operational setup can differ.
When you request options, we share the details you need to select the right fit, including what the company is currently registered to do and what updates may be needed post-acquisition.

RPAA / PSP Support in Canada

We support buyers who need a clear, execution-focused path, including:
- Model mapping: We translate your product flow into a practical view of what likely sits under “MSB activity” vs “payment services / PSP Canada” scope.

Some available entities may already be at an advanced stage of the RPAA process. This depends on the specific company and is shared upon request during the options/shortlist step.
Payment accounts + Virtual IBAN onboarding

What we do as an introducer
- Introduce you to suitable partner institutions based on your business model
- Help prepare the onboarding pack and narrative
- Coordinate the onboarding process (timelines, clarifications, next steps)
- Keep it practical and conversion-focused: the goal is to get you operational
What virtual IBANs enable (plain language)
A virtual IBAN solution can help you scale by making money movement and reconciliation cleaner:
- Separate IBANs / virtual IBANs per end-customer (client-level collection identifiers)
- Streamlined reconciliation (you know which customer paid what, without manual matching)
- Cleaner client-level separation for reporting and operations
- A practical foundation for scaling a payments-led MSB business model internationally
If you’re building a platform, marketplace, remittance, or multi-client payments product, virtual IBAN functionality is often the difference between “possible” and “operational at scale.”
