The removal of an electronic money institution from the list of authorised electronic money institutions may be ordered as a disciplinary sanction by the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution.
For an electronic money institution carrying out activities of a hybrid nature within the meaning of Article L. 526-3, deregistration means that the institution is prohibited from carrying out the activities for which it was granted authorisation as an electronic money institution.
For other institutions, deregistration results in the liquidation of the legal entity.
Any institution that has been the subject of such a disciplinary sanction remains under the supervision of the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution until, respectively, it ceases all activity or goes into liquidation. Until that time, they may only carry out electronic money management operations that are strictly necessary to clear their situation. It may only refer to its status as an electronic money institution by specifying that it has been deregistered.
