CNB investment-firm licensing in the Czech Republic
A Czech investment firm, supervised by the Czech National Bank, is a stable onshore EU base with full MiFID II passporting and a well-developed financial sector. It suits firms that want a mature, dependable Central European jurisdiction inside the single market.
The regulator
The Czech National Bank is both the central bank and the integrated financial supervisor, with a reputation for stability and methodical assessment. It applies the EU framework consistently and expects firms to bring a clear, well-evidenced business case.

What to weigh
