Authorisation

Companies offering financial services in Estonia require permits issued by Finantsinspektsioon.

A financial institution who is authorised in another EEA State may conduct financial activities in Estonia if it is within the scope of a relevant EU Single Market Directive. In order to do so, the institution must first contact their home-state regulator who in its turn will notify Finantsinspektsioon. When active in Estonia, a financial institution also needs to comply with national rules, provided in General Good.

Please note that there are specific rules for notifications of UCITS.

Financial institutions that are authorised in a country outside the EEA must apply for authorisation from Finantsinspektsioon in order to be able to conduct financial activities in Estonia.
