Which license and registrations are needed to launch a peer-to-peer lending platform in Bangladesh under central bank rules?

Question

I want to launch a peer-to-peer lending platform that connects borrowers with lenders in Bangladesh. I know the central bank imposes licensing, AML/KYC, consumer protection, and data privacy rules. What specific licenses and registrations do I need, and what are the typical timelines and costs?

To guide you accurately, could you please confirm the following?

1) Will your platform be operating as a financial institution itself (e.g., handling funds directly) or only acting as a tech intermediary between lenders and borrowers?

2) Are you targeting individuals only, SMEs, or both as borrowers and lenders?

3) Do you already have a corporate presence or legal entity established in Bangladesh?

4) Are you also interested in information about tax registration, foreign ownership rules (if applicable), and data localization requirements?
