It's an introducer business (acting as a distributor/agent for
EMI/PSP) and they don't have their own license.
Can't really blame them for high fees, as it's a tough market. In my opinion, it's not really a sustainable business model, and some consolidation is bound to happen sooner or later in this market.
Once real banks catch up with digitalization and reduce the number of their physical branches, most
EMI-s won't remain competitive, so I would lean towards bigger, more established institutions, which you can verify on the websites of central banks,
for example, LCB.
On the other hand, soon we will likely see the end of retail banking as it is today if things go according to plans.
Ever since ECB was established 20 years ago, there has been a net decrease of ~1000 banks, and its heading in the direction of total centralization like
Gosbank in the era of Joseph Stalin. This will happen after ECB will release its own
cryptocurrency and effectively start competing with retail banks, and we are seeing the same things happening
all over the world.
That being said, I would rather invest in some cheap substance and get a real
bank account somewhere.
