Money Transmitter License Software for Crypto Companies

Brico helps crypto companies secure and manage money transmitter licenses (MTLs) in all 50 states, plus BitLicense in New York. Our regulatory software combines automation and expert support to simplify multi-state licensing, compliance, and renewals.

Why Crypto Companies Need Licensing Help

Navigating money transmitter laws is especially challenging for crypto startups. Every state has its own interpretation of how money transmission applies to digital assets — and regulators are watching closely. Brico helps teams get licensed faster, without burning time or budget.

Confusing State-by-State Rules

Money transmission laws are applied inconsistently to crypto across the U.S., creating complex and risky gray areas for founders.

High Scrutiny, Zero Room for Error

Regulators are under pressure to monitor crypto companies closely. Strong, audit-ready license applications are essential.

Legal Help Is Expensive

Traditional law firms and licensing consultants charge steep hourly rates. Brico offers flat pricing with automation and expert support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about money transmitter licenses (MTLs), BitLicense requirements, and crypto compliance. Learn how Brico helps digital asset companies streamline licensing, stay audit-ready, and navigate evolving state and federal regulations.

Do crypto companies need a money transmitter license (MTL)?

In most cases, yes. If your company handles crypto custody, payments, or facilitates fiat on-ramps and off-ramps, you're likely considered a money transmitter in many states. A legal professional can help assess your licensing obligations—but most digital asset platforms require at least one MTL to operate legally.

Is a BitLicense required to operate in New York?

Yes. New York’s Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) requires most crypto companies to obtain a BitLicense before serving NY customers. Brico supports both initial BitLicense applications and ongoing maintenance.

What’s included in crypto license maintenance?

Ongoing compliance includes quarterly and annual reports, license renewals, responding to regulator inquiries, submitting advanced change notices, and monitoring licensing requirements across all 50 states.
