What's Inside

Your DACH Expansion Toolkit

Regulatory Landscape Overview

A detailed comparison of BaFin, FMA, and FINMA — structures, processes, expectations, and key differences across all three jurisdictions, including a regulatory outlook to 2028.

License Application Roadmaps

Step-by-step guides for the most common license types in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Timelines, required documents, costs, and common pitfalls.

AML/KYC Framework

Building an anti-money laundering and know-your-customer framework that meets DACH supervisory expectations — already aligned with the EU Anti-Money Laundering Regulation from July 2027.

Enterprise Readiness

What banks and corporates require from vendors: ISO 27001 and BSI C5, data processing agreements and US transfers, DORA contract requirements, NIS2, the Cyber Resilience Act, and works council co-determination.

Entry Routes and Home State

Market entry without your own license via the agent model, liability umbrella, or banking-as-a-service, partner bank due diligence, a comparison of possible home states, and serving Swiss clients without a Swiss license.

Cultural Navigation Guide

How business is done in DACH. Communication styles, decision-making processes, negotiation norms, and relationship-building strategies.

16 Checklists and Templates

Actionable checklists for the license application, AML, market entry, and enterprise readiness, plus correspondence templates, a deadline calendar, and a budget template — as PDF and editable Word files.

Timelines and Case Studies

Month-by-month plans for license applications and the full DACH entry, a management summary with a 90-day plan, and three illustrative case studies of typical market entries.

Five Practice Kits

In-depth kits as working templates: DORA Vendor Kit with building blocks for contract clauses, ZAG Roadmap, MiCA CASP Roadmap, AMLR Transition Guide 2027 and, new in October 2026, the CCD2 Transition Guide on the consumer credit rules that apply from 20 November 2026.

Frequent Questions

Questions aboutthe Playbook.

Who is the Playbook for?
For founders, executive teams, and expansion teams of fintech and SaaS companies preparing a DACH market entry — who want to understand upfront which regulatory, commercial, and cultural waypoints lie ahead. Sales are directed exclusively at business customers.
What exactly do I receive?
The DACH Market Entry Playbook (September 2026 edition), the companion document with 16 checklists and templates, and five practice kits: DORA Vendor Kit, ZAG Roadmap, MiCA CASP Roadmap, AMLR Transition Guide 2027, and CCD2 Transition Guide 2026. Everything in German and English as PDF, with the playbook and checklists also as editable Word files. You order on invoice; you receive the package by email within one business day after payment has been received.
Does the Playbook replace individual advisory?
No. It is a structured guide with frameworks, processes, and checklists — not advice tailored to your situation and not legal advice. The documents are written from a commercial perspective and have not been reviewed by a lawyer. For individual questions, a consultation is the right path.
How current is the content?
The current edition reflects the position as of October 2026. The package is revised when material regulatory changes occur; you receive the current version at purchase and updates for 24 months (details: Terms of Service, Section 3). Regulation moves continuously, however — ongoing monitoring is what our Regulatory Intelligence service does, not the Playbook.
Is there a right of withdrawal?
Sales are directed exclusively at business customers within the meaning of Art. 2(2) of Directive 2011/83/EU; consumer withdrawal rights therefore do not apply. Details are governed by our Terms of Service.
