Financial licenses
The difference between Electronic money institution (EMI) and Payment Institution (PI) is that EMI in addition to the services provided by PI are entitled to issue Electronic Money. It means that EMI allowed storing clients’ funds for a longer period what Payment Institutions usually not allowed. EMI allows the issue of payment cards, e-wallets, and other payment instruments requiring storage of the client funds.
Bank Boutique takes care of all aspects and no branch visit required for fully executing bank account for your digital bank.

There are two types of EMI licenses: SEMI (small electronic money institution) license and AEMI (authorized electronic money institution) license.

Banks with SEMI (small electronic money institution) license are authorized to provide payment and banking services without the licensing capital or an AML team. The limits lie in the amount of money the business can run a payment service for or the amount of money issued. The limit for payment services is EUR 36,000,000 per year, whereas the limitation for e-money issuance is EUR 5,000,000 per year. Small EMI is faster to obtain: the average licensing time is between 3 to 4 months.
aemi
Banks with AEMI (authorized electronic money institution) have full right of payment service provision and e-money issuance with no limitations. AEMI (authorized electronic money institution) license requires a licensing capital in order to obtain it.

Open Banking
is a banking practice that securely shares financial information, such as consumer banking transactions and other financial data, to third-party financial service providers.
There are two types of companies that can provide open banking services- AISP (Account information service provider) license and PISPs (Payment initiation service provider) license.
AISP
Companies with an AISP license, are financial institutions that provide access to financial data from accounts held with other financial institutions. AISP open banking provides “read-only” access to financial information. An AISP API is needed to access open banking AIS data. APIs are connections to banks and open banking AISP data can only be accessed with the consent from customers. The PSD2 account information service provider handles customer consent during this process. The PSD2 AISP will explain to the user what data is accessed and who it will be shared with.
PISP
Companies with an PISP license, offer services that use online banking to make instant online payments without using a credit or debit card. PISP open banking provides “read-and-write” access to financial information. This means that rather than only viewing data on an account, PISPs are authorised to make payments on behalf of customers.
