A subsidiary of embedded banking platform Railsr is being investigated by the Bank of Lithuania over concerns it has been "grossly and systematically" violating money laundering and terrorist financing laws.
在一份声明中 ，首先由电讯报报道, 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.
然而，中央银行现已成功申请法院命令，以确保 PayRNet 暂时停止接受新客户。
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 目前正在寻求出售自己，据传尼日利亚支付巨头 Flutterwave 对此感兴趣。
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.
