South Korea PG and FX Licensed Company

This South Korean company, established in 2021, offers a unique opportunity for acquirers seeking a robust payment gateway (PG) and foreign exchange (FX) licensed entity. The company holds a PG license received in 2025 and an FX license from 2026, both registered with the Financial Services Commission. It operates with a clean regulatory record, having faced no sanctions or inspection findings. The company is equipped with a sophisticated payment and FX processing platform, integrated with partner acquiring networks, and is ready to scale merchant volume. It serves both B2B and B2C clients, providing local payment solutions across 10 countries. The sale includes software and the potential for the current CEO to remain with the new owner, ensuring a smooth transition. Financially, the company boasts a paid-in capital of KRW 1.86 billion, surpassing the minimum requirement for PGs processing significant transaction volumes. It maintains strong local relationships with acquiring networks and banking partners, with a virtual bank account facility in progress. Compliance infrastructure is robust, with AML/CFT regulations, monitoring procedures, and designated reporting officers in place. This acquisition positions the buyer advantageously ahead of regulatory changes in December 2026, which will tighten requirements under the amended Electronic Financial Transactions Act. Additionally, the company is well-placed to capitalize on Korea's evolving digital asset framework, including potential roles in stablecoin distribution and cross-border settlements.
