How MSBs Can Get Bank Accounts in 2025 | Expert Advice from Clear Junction
Banking access remains one of the toughest challenges for remittance businesses and MSBs. In this session, Steve Allen, Head of Sales at Clear Junction, shares what he has learned from speaking to MSBs directly about why accounts get declined, how to present your business so banks and EMIs say yes, and where stablecoins now fit into cross-border flows.
What you’ll take away
- Why remittance companies face more de-risking than almost any other sector, and the parts of the business profile (high volumes, low values, thin margins, limited float, exotic destinations) that drive bank hesitancy.
- The dos and don’ts of onboarding: clear fund-flow diagrams, robust fraud and sanctions controls, strong UBO and MLRO credentials, and why overplaying the price card can work against you.
- How to choose a banking or payment partner when expanding into markets like West Africa, and what licensing (UK SPI vs. Canadian FINTRAC) means for the corridors you can serve.
- Where stablecoins fit in the treasury and liquidity leg, how they speed up settlement beyond the two-day Swift cycle, and why local demand for stablecoins can improve payout value in some markets
