To apply for a Switzerland Payment Service Provider, one must submit an application to the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority. Applicants might need to adhere to the Banking Act, the Anti-Money Laundering Act, the Consumer Credit Act, and the National Bank Act. Additionally, they may have to follow any extra regulations or directives issued by the relevant authorities. A license under the Financial Market Infrastructure Act is necessary for all organizations offering payment services.

The FMIA might assess the applicant's financial stability based on the funds they possess and their experience in the field. The type of licenses needed for an applicant will be determined by the regulators, taking into account the business plan and functional model of the applicant.
