The Bank of Lithuania revealed that at the end of 2019, a total of 115 electronic money (EMI) and payment (PI) institutions operated in the country has grown by a fifth. Meanwhile, corporate income from licensed activities has increased €41.08 million to €68.6 million.

With the rapidly evolving market, we strive for Lithuania’s licensed EMIs/PIs to be associated with high compliance standards. This is why enforcement of anti-money laundering, capital ratio, and customer fund protection requirements are the key areas of supervision
