Questions before you form

The core business of a Swedish Trust Company should be Trust Management, which can include the management of any type of asset without restrictions. However, if the Swedish Trust Company has a too strong focus on payment services, currency exchange or other related activity, additional license requirements could be triggered. See our Resources section for articles elaborating further on this. By combining the Swedish Trust Company with a Montana MSB, see www.montanamsb.com, the range of permissible financial activities can be expanded.

When it comes to cryptocurrencies, the financial regulator in Sweden (Finansinspektionen) has taken the rather peculiar stance lately that Crypto Exchanges and wallet providers should be licensed as forex brokerages. This despite the fact that the Swedish Central Bank has repeatedly confirmed that crypto currency is not money/currency in any shape or form. However, this does not mean that a Trust Company cannot manage cryptocurrencies. Please visit our Resources section for further details. Please also see www.FiatGate.com for our turn-key white-label Crypto Exchange Platforms, no license required!
