Apply for authorisation
Does your firm need authorisation from FI to conduct your proposed operations? Would you like to apply for exemption from a regulation?

Authorisation and notifications
Applying for authorisation and submitting notifications are both basically done in the same way.
FI always charges a fee for authorisation applications and in many cases for notification submissions.
One difference is that an application for authorisation leads to a decision, while a notification submission results in a confirmation.
An example of an application for authorisation is authorisation to conduct banking or financing business.
An example of a notification submission is a notification of an outsourcing agreement or notification of significant changes.
