Tangany Obtains BaFin PSD2 Payment Services License for E-Money Tokens

• Tangany stands as one of the initial custodians in Europe to obtain a BaFin PSD2 license for E-Money Token payments.
• Facilitates regulated stablecoin deposits, withdrawals, and transfers for banks and fintechs, with initial partner rollouts scheduled for the upcoming weeks.
• Broadens Tangany’s regulated infrastructure to encompass custody, MiCA services, and payments.

(SeaPRwire) –   MUNICH, Germany, March 18, 2026 — Tangany, a B2B digital asset custodian regulated by BaFin, has been granted a Payment Services Provider license under the Payment Services Directive (PSD2) by the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) for operations concerning E-Money Tokens (EMTs). Tangany is one of the pioneering digital asset custodians to secure this specific license from BaFin for payment services associated with EMTs.

EMTs constitute electronic money based on blockchain technology and are widely utilized for issuing regulated stablecoins within Europe.

This authorization empowers Tangany to back regulated transfer services dealing with stablecoins for European financial institutions, fintech firms, and digital asset platforms. By leveraging Tangany’s offerings, these entities can manage stablecoin deposits and withdrawals, utilizing the provided technical infrastructure for wallet-to-wallet transfers and the regulatory oversight established by PSD2 and MiCA.

Upon launch, the service will be accessible throughout the EU, with the first two collaborative partners gearing up to launch their offerings with Tangany’s assistance in the near future. Integrated into Tangany’s regulated white-label infrastructure for digital assets, the firm is now equipped to provide payment services for E-Money Tokens, including stablecoins, complementing its existing MiCA-licensed crypto asset services.

Per European regulations, entities providing payment services for stablecoins are required to possess a PSD2 payment services license alongside crypto asset licenses under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA).

Tangany is authorized to deliver the subsequent services concerning E-Money Tokens:

• 1. Services facilitating the deposit of cash onto a payment account
• 2. Services facilitating cash withdrawals from a payment account
• 3c. Execution of credit transfers

“Securing this license from BaFin marks an important milestone for Tangany,” stated Martin Kreitmair, CEO of Tangany. “A clear regulatory framework is essential for payment services involving stablecoins, making this license a fundamental requirement for delivering such solutions. Considering the present regulatory landscape and the numerous CASPs throughout Europe seeking similar authorizations, obtaining this license is a notable accomplishment for our team. It enables us to broaden our service offerings and assist financial institutions and fintech partners with compliant infrastructure for E-Money Token transactions.”

Holding authorizations that span crypto custody, MiCA-governed crypto asset services, and payment services for E-Money Tokens, Tangany solidifies its position as a premier regulated infrastructure provider for digital assets in the European financial sector.
