Where the applicant applies for authorisation as an investment firm or credit institution including the right to provide custody account keeping or clearing of financial instruments, the authorisation to provide this service or carry out this activity is issued as part of the authorisation procedure as an investment services provider.
If the applicant has been authorised as an investment firm or credit institution providing one or more investment services and is applying for authorisation to provide custody account keeping or clearing of financial instruments, the authorisation will be granted when the applicant’s authorisation is amended.
