BUY A BANK

Financial Licensing Advisors (FLA) is the undisputed leader in the selling of controlling positions of offshore banks all over the world. If you want to buy a bank you are in the right place.

“A bank is the pinnacle of capitalism and business. Own a bank, and you will own the financial system. If you have the money go out and buy a bank, you will be buying your ticket to the pinnacle of capitalism.”

“Buying a bank is and has always been the most ambitious strategic step in any high-net-worth group or any financial institution.”

Whether you: 1) have decided to enter the financial markets directly by buying a bank; 2) are a financial institution that has outgrown its licensing boundaries; or 3) are experiencing operational inefficiencies or restrictions with your own bank as a service provider, the outcome is the same. You’ve decided that now is the time to move forward and be the banker yourself.

Companies in different financial situations (including FX, wealth managers, family offices, IB, M&As, FAs, IAs, payment processors, and fund managers) will at some point in their lifecycles find it necessary or desirable to grow beyond their current licensing limitations. For many such businesses, the natural way to move forward is by purchasing a financial institution or bank.

Buying a bank creates endless possibilities because you are able to become a market maker. However, when you are first considering purchasing a bank, you might not know where to start. Our team at Financial Licensing Advisors will help you assess your needs and will tailor a solution specific to you.

Typically, we have an array of banks that are ready to sell according to your specific needs. We deal with banks of various sizes and in various jurisdictions. These banks are highly regulated, audited, and, in some cases, certified.
