Looking for Offshore Financial Service License

It has been complicated since the beginning of last year! Belize, Cyprus, Ireland and Scotland were some of the best jurisdictions with low capital requirements in the past.

Hello,

We are in the middle of a startup launch related in the fintech industry and we are having a lot of trouble to find a jurisdiction for incorporating and applying to a financial service license without large capital requierements. We are not in the forex business we just need to be able to receive deposits from third parties.

Any suggestions?

But in order to receive third party funds can any of the low capital requierement licenses work? I know that for Forex you need a 500,000 USD capital.
