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) licence by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). This licence authorizes Klasha to operate as a currency exchange and money transmitter in the United States.

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