Legal advice on the provision of an innovative mobile application and multi-currency debit card product service
The firm provides ongoing legal services to the client including, inter alia, legal advice on the payments services provided throughout an innovative mobile app product and a multi-currency debit card.

The firm advised on the creation of the legal documentation of the mobile application (regulations for the provision of the mobile service), as well as we provided an opinion on the proces of the client’s use of methods and identity identification and verification and ongoing monitoring of customers and transactions. The firm also advised on the conclusion of an agreement to entrust identity verification processes using video verification.
The firm has also drafted contracts for the provision of services by the client to its whitelabel business partners and negotiates the content of these contracts.
