Klasha acquires MSB license to operate in the United States

Klasha, a leading global cross-border payments company, is thrilled to announce that it has been granted a Money Services Business (MSB) license by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). This license authorizes Klasha to operate as a currency exchange and money transmitter in the United States.

With this MSB license, the company can now offer its innovative cross-border payment solutions and financial services to businesses in the United States that want to send and accept cross-border payments from Africa and carry out foreign exchange services and international money transfers with ease and security.

“We are thrilled to have obtained the MSB license from FinCen as it grants us access to additional international markets, allowing businesses in the United States to utilize our cross-border payment solutions,” said Jess Anuna, CEO of Klasha.
