Who buys a remittance & money transfer app in Lithuania
EMI & payments
EMI & payments customers in Lithuania value high approval rates, local payment methods, payouts and automated reconciliation. The agent portal module is usually their first priority, and they judge success on authorisation rate and cost per transaction.
Fintech
Fintech customers in Lithuania value secure onboarding, ledgers that reconcile to the cent, real-time payments and audit-ready reporting. The aml & screening module is usually their first priority, and they judge success on onboarding completion rate and time to approve an application.

For clients in Lithuania we usually host on Frankfurt, Ireland or another EU region to stay within GDPR transfer rules. The choice balances latency for local users, EU GDPR requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
