What is Malta Financial Services Authority?

In short

The Malta Financial Services Authority is the national supervisor for financial services firms, and its licence numbers tell a reader whether a provider is authorised.

The Malta Financial Services Authority is the national supervisor for financial services firms in Malta. It authorises companies that hold money, issue cards and lend, and a licence number is the handle a reader uses to check a provider's standing. Ferratum's registration reads C56251. Cards such as Crypto.com Card and eToro sit alongside bank accounts from Lombard Bank Malta in the same market, so the authority's records are the place a reader starts.
