The Malta Financial Services Authority (“MFSA” or the “Authority”) has been looking into certain matters related to a Company Service Provider in relation to late submission of regulatory information to the Authority. The Authority has considered the goodwill demonstrated by the Company and agreed to settle all pending matters.

Business Activity: Company Service Provider

FINDINGS

The MFSA found failings in respect to:

1. Rule 17.02 of the CSP Rulebook (applicable until 15 March 2021 prior to the coming into force of the new CSP Rulebook) wherein the Company submitted the Annual Compliance Return for financial year ending 31 December 2020 after the regulatory deadline;
2. Rule 17.03 of the CSP Rulebook (applicable until 15 March 2021 prior to the coming into force of the new CSP Rulebook) wherein the Company submitted the Audited Financial Statements and the Auditor’s Management Letter for financial year ending 31 December 2020 after the regulatory deadline; and

MEASURES

On 29 September 2025, the MFSA agreed to settle pending matters with the CSP after demonstration of goodwill by the CSP.
