REGULATED INNOVATION

A regional fintech hub with prudential supervision

Georgia’s fintech strategy aims to position the country as a regional hub for the Middle Corridor. For virtual-asset businesses, that innovation agenda sits alongside NBG registration, minimum capital, operational resilience, FATF-aligned controls and continuing supervision.

NBG SUPERVISION Innovation-friendly is not compliance-light

The NBG describes VASP activity as strictly regulated, with market-entry, AML/CFT, systems, governance, change-control and inspection requirements.

SUPERVISORY CAPITAL GEL 150,000–350,000

The applicable minimum depends on the registered services and must be maintained throughout operation. At least 75% must consist of primary capital.

GEL 20,000 Operating outside the agreed service scheme

The current fines framework imposes GEL 20,000 where a VASP operates contrary to the service scheme agreed with the NBG.

GEL 20,000 is not a maximum aggregate exposure. The framework also includes GEL 7,000 per missing inspection item, GEL 5,000 per unfulfilled written instruction and stablecoin-specific fines reaching GEL 50,000 per occurrence. The NBG has published a GEL 465,000 aggregate enforcement case against a registered VASP.

REGULATORY ANALYSIS

Three regulatory questions to resolve before a Georgian VASP launch

What an NBG VASP application must prove before registration

What an NBG VASP application must prove before registration

The filing must connect statutory annexes, ownership, administrators, service-flow schemes, head office, electronic system, three-year plan and AML/CFT evidence.

What local substance actually requires in Georgia

What local substance actually requires in Georgia

Actual management from a Georgian head office, physical separation, NBG system access and 14-day monthly representative presence are the statutory floor—not a complete staffing model.
