Enota Railsr se sooča z litovsko preiskavo napak pri pranju denarja

V izjavi , o čemer je prvi poročal The Telegraph, the central bank says that "there is reason to suspect" Railsr unit PayRNet has been violating the law.

Railsr's European payments unit, PayRNet secured an electronic money institution licence from the Bank of Lithuania in 2020, enabling to operate across the EU.

Vendar pa je centralna banka zdaj uspešno zaprosila za sodno odredbo, da zagotovi, da PayRNet začasno preneha sprejemati nove stranke.

The statement says PayRNet must "not to establish business relationships with new clients, as well as intermediaries and persons distributing and/or redeeming electronic money of this institution" until "an inspection is carried out and a decision of the Bank of Lithuania is made regarding suspected violation".

A Railsr spokesman tells the Telegraph that the investigation is "backward looking" and that it has already offboarded customers "who failed to meet the standards required".

The firm adds that the Bank of Lithuania has "only reached an interim review" and that the company is appealing the notice.

Railsr se trenutno želi prodati, za kar se govori, da bi ga zanimal nigerijski plačilni velikan Flutterwave.

The process comes as the firm faces up to the wider economic downturn. A year ago, it was looking for investment at a $1 billion dollar valuation, but in October it finally secured funds at a heavily discounted $250 million value.
