Exchange institutions – Costs of applying for authorisation

Factsheet

De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) charges a fee for handling applications for the authorisation of exchange institutions.

Published: 27 February 2020

The application fee applies regardless of whether DNB approves or rejects the application. It also applies if the applicant withdraws the application in the meantime or if DNB ceases consideration during the procedure.

Application fee 

Fees are charged for processing a permit application. The amount of these one-off costs is set out in the Regulation on the financing of financial supervision of one-off actions (Regeling bekostiging financieel toezicht eenmalige handelingen - Dutch only).

Fee for on-going supervision

DNB also charges exchange institutions an annual fee to cover the costs of our on-going supervision on exchange institutions.
