US money services businesses sit under two layers of regulation at once. Every MSB registers federally with FinCEN, and separately most states run their own money transmitter licensing regime that has to be satisfied in each state where customers are served. That second layer is what drives both the cost of building a US footprint and the timeline of any acquisition, because a change of control usually needs approval state by state. Montana is the single exception and is covered on its own page below.

FinCEN registration is a federal filing that every money services business must make. It establishes the AML obligations of the business but it is not a licence and it does not authorise activity in any particular state. State money transmitter licences are separate authorisations granted by each state banking regulator, and they are what actually permit the business to serve customers resident in that state.
No. Most states treat a change of control as an event requiring prior approval, and some require the licence to be re-applied for outright. The federal FinCEN registration is straightforward to update, but the state layer is where acquisition timelines are decided. Confirm which states the target actually holds licences in before pricing the deal.
Montana is the only state with no money transmitter licensing regime at all. Beyond that, states differ mainly in net worth requirements, surety bond levels and how quickly the regulator processes change-of-control filings, rather than in whether a licence is needed.
