FINAL NOTICE

_____________________________________________________________________

To:

GMEX Europe Limited

ACTION

1.
For the reasons set out in this Final Notice, the Financial Services Authority (the
“FSA”) hereby takes the following action against GMEX Europe Limited.

2.
The FSA gave GMEX Europe Limited a Decision Notice on 13 June 2012 (the
“Decision Notice”) which notified GMEX Europe Limited that for the reasons given
below and pursuant to Regulation 10(1)(h) of the Payment Services Regulations 2009
(the “PSR”), the FSA had decided to cancel the registration granted to GMEX Europe
Limited as a small payment institution under the PSR (“GMEX Europe Limited’
registration”).

3.
GMEX Europe Limited has not referred the matter to the Upper Tribunal (Tax and
Chancery Division) within 28 days of the date on which the Decision Notice was
given to it.

4.
Accordingly, the FSA has today cancelled GMEX Europe Limited’s registration.

REASONS FOR ACTION


GMEX Europe Limited
16 July 2012
Final Notice
Page 2

5.
On the basis of the facts and matters described in its Warning Notice dated 26 April
2012 (the “Warning Notice”), and in the Decision Notice, the FSA has concluded that
by failing to pay fees and levies owed to the FSA, and to respond adequately to the
FSA’s repeated requests that it does so, GMEX Europe Limited has failed to
demonstrate a readiness and willingness to comply with its regulatory obligations and
to deal with the FSA in an open and co-operative way. It is therefore desirable to
cancel GMEX Europe Limited’s registration as a small payment institution in order to
protect the interests of consumers, in accordance with Regulation 10(1)(h) of the PSR
(as applied by Regulation 14).

6.
GMEX Europe Limited has failed to pay fees and levies totalling £797.10 owed to the
FSA, and to respond adequately to the FSA’s repeated requests that it does so.

DECISION MAKER

7.
The decision which gave rise to the obligation to give this Final Notice was made by
the Regulatory Decisions Committee.

IMPORTANT

8.
This Final Notice is given to GMEX Europe Limited in accordance with section
390(1) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “Act”) (as applied by
paragraph 7(b) of Part 1 of Schedule 5 to the PSR).

PUBLICITY

9.
Sections 391(4), 391(6) and 391(7) of the Act (as applied by paragraph 7(c) of Part 1
of Schedule 5 of the PSR) apply to the publication of information about the matter to
which this Final Notice relates. Under those provisions, the FSA must publish such
