Phase 1: MSB Establishment

It is not because of a lack of desire, but for a daunting set of hurdles that need to be overcome, that many emerging Fintechs fail to engage the North American market. 

astrea manages the whole certification process, and provides an even greater valued service by means of building out a full-scale compliance program to be ready day 1.

Most emerging Fintechs attempt to bootstrap a compliance program creation, and often suffer or even ultimately fail as a business later because of this shortcoming. 

At the core of our ethos is the belief that proper compliance yields below-the-radar long-term benefits for the client .

Phase 2: Partnerships

Emerging Fintechs are faced with the dizzying challenge of partnering with the right financial institutions and service providers to round out its North American operation.

Through our combined 30+years of experience, astrea provides a dynamic but synergistic group of partners.

Partners’ verticals cover investment, financial institution, compliance, operations, customer service and other tech gateways.

Phase 3: Go to Market

Most of our clients have existing marketing departments, and their own ideas on how to engage the North American market.

astrea brings critical data to help educate clients on the truly important decisions that need to made, and this process helps either reinforce or refocus the client’s current understandings.

Because of the vast land mass that is North America, astrea provides access to a trusted network of various localized creative and marketing agencies to ensure that every marketing dollar spent is done so efficiently, and more importantly, transparently.
