- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Serbia customers must stay in-region.
- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Serbia.
- Confirm with counsel whether licensing or registration with National Bank of Serbia applies to your model.
- Document AML, fraud and transaction-monitoring controls for auditors.
Hosting and data residency for a remittance & money transfer app in Serbia
For clients in Serbia we usually host on Frankfurt, Ireland or another EU region to stay within GDPR transfer rules. The choice balances latency for local users, Law on Personal Data Protection 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.
