Solutions – Authorisations – 5MLD Registration

5MLD Registration.

Get in touch
For cryptoasset firms, registration under the Fifth Money Laundering Directive (5MLD) isn’t optional it’s a legal requirement. Without it, firms cannot lawfully provide exchange or custody services in the UK. Getting this right is about more than regulatory compliance; it’s about safeguarding your licence to operate, protecting your reputation, and ensuring investors and clients trust your business. 

Our cryptoasset compliance experts guide you through the 5MLD registration process, from preparing robust FCA applications to addressing regulator queries helping you avoid delays, reduce risk, and secure authorisation with confidence.  

Cosegic is one of the UK’s most experienced compliance partners for cryptoasset firms. We know how the FCA interprets risk, governance, and financial crime controls, and we apply this insight to strengthen your registration application. 

Whether you are drafting your submission from scratch or need a critical review before filing, we ensure your application is credible, regulator-ready, and aligned with FCA expectations. And once submitted, we support you in managing follow-up queries, addressing supervisory concerns, and responding promptly and strategically to secure approval.
