Question

I want to start a microfinance or payment services operation in Trinidad and Tobago and need clarity on licensing, AML/CFT reporting, and ongoing supervision by the Central Bank and the FIU. Could you outline the steps, required documents, typical timelines, and penalties for non-compliance, and advise if hiring a local attorney is advisable?
