VASP AUTHORIZATION IN POLAND

Poland serves as an attractive locale for cryptocurrency and information technology ventures. The involvement in cryptocurrency-related activities does not currently entail a specific licensing framework but is regarded as a licensed trade. Entities seeking to operate in this domain must register with the Trade Licensing Register, overseen by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (Komisja Nadzoru Finansowego - KNF).

The registration process is characterized by simplicity, with no mandatory corporate account requirements and a nominal minimum share capital.

While there is no formal licensing akin to traditional financial institutions, entities engaged in cryptocurrency activities are considered "obliged entities" in Poland. Regulatory oversight is conducted by the Financial Analytical Office (Financial Intelligence Unit) to ensure compliance with the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Act. 



Compliance obligations encompass the formulation and implementation of robust Anti-Money Laundering/Know Your Customer (AML/KYC) policies, strict adherence to reporting frameworks, and the appointment of an Anti-Money Laundering Officer to oversee regulatory compliance.

Typically, the entire registration process, from initiation to formal listing, spans a period of 1 to 3 weeks.
