Meta Luminor Story

Throughout the past decade, Philip Maurice Mifsud, the Founder of Meta Luminor advisory had accumulated a substantial amount of experience in product and service development, brand building and customer account management in predominantly the financial and technology spaces. Meta Luminor was born following a keen interest to provide services to complement New Tech industries.

In early 2018 Philip Maurice Mifsud during his employment with a now known technology stack provider, he decided to also take on as a hobby the support for the growth of a known London based Multi-Currency E-Wallet Fintech firm. The growth strategy in Malta worked so well that he basically grew their market exponentially from 17,000 users to 85,000+ users in under a year (Malta’s population is 432,858 meaning a 20% population market penetration) with ZERO marketing spend and even Won Innovator of the Year at the Malta Blockchain Summit.

As demand for the business service grew, he noted that the Fintech based firm could not compliment and manage the demand for Malta-based business accounts and they also did not accommodate account opening to our growing New Industries: Gaming, DLT & Fintech based businesses as well as crypto to mention a few. Customer support and business support was also delayed and left much to be desired.

Malta has recently been experiencing closed doors by local banks to activate and source IBAN accounts for both local and international personas and businesses.

From his research it seemed the situation was dire, in that Malta now had a growing economy with international businesses setting up companies, buying buildings and employing people but not being able to source accounts or payment processing solutions. It seemed of utmost importance to look for solutions to complement the growing local economy for FDI to flourish, so we got in touch with as many payment providers and as many alternative digital banks and other Fintech alternatives. The majority of which are EU licensed and based.

If you or your company are in DLT, Crypto, Gaming or even Medical Pharma space and are unable to source a company Iban account or process monies and require an advisory service that can help you find the right solution, do reach out to us. We would be more than happy to help!

From research one could also note the need for real experienced professionals in the DLT space to contribute to the growing vision of “the blockchain island” and to collaborate, invest and work in Malta. Meta Luminor can also help source the right experienced advisors to assess your project and provide the much-needed direction for your STO’s & ETO’s. We also intend to complement this with courses run by ourselves, other academic institutions and industry renowned speakers. Meta Luminor can even introduce you to private (UHNW) & Institutional International Funds to help you grow your idea and we also have access to experienced DLT & Fintech code developers. We are plugged into a very large network of VC’s and would be glad to listen!

MetaLuminor can also introduce you to experienced providers of Security Token Strategy & Advisory Services. The advisory fulfils the needs of token economic design and deployment. The clients range from young start-ups to partially executed token initiatives to large scale enterprise. The investment syndicates run deep and wide, they could be your lead investor and sometimes your last. (All token offerings foreign and domestic are executed within full legal compliance of their respective jurisdiction).

Meta Luminor is now also focusing on collaborating with a good number of Fintechs and EMI’s based in other European Union Jurisdictions to help provide more and more options to the local market. These options allow our clients to source  Multi-Currency Ewallet solutions with dozens of Currencies, and Crypto to FIAT including cards attached to both individual and Corporate wallets. After passing standard compliance AML/KYC procedures clients will enjoy a product with real human 24/7 excellent customer support as part of this infrastructure and they can be reached by phone not just chat to some robot. Philip Maurice Mifsud holds this to heart as he personally suffered as an individual client of a firm which blocked funds irresponsibly using compliance as an excuse which today is unfortunately being abused. Holding onto monies that have shown full provenance eg salaries or full invoicing and service agreements for over 2 months and have a non responsive customer support is a BIG NO NO. When companies are only a number or data driven their in-competencies come to light very quickly as they do not care about the client or supporting them which is a problem for any institution managing or processing individual or corporate monies. Lesson Learned, automated AI for customer support does not work alone it must have the possibility of liaising with a real human customer support agent for FAQ’s that an AI bot simply cannot support or understand queries of especially if not multi-lingual.

MetaLuminor can also introduce clients and provide solutions from partners for their personal or corporate crypto activity provided they pass the providers onboarding process. As all our partners have strict PEP screening, Sanction Screening and transaction monitoring for all processing requirements and transfers.

Philip is also a strong supporter of cryptocurrencies and has been trading privately for over 5 years. As a consequence, we also have access to licensed partner OTC desks and UHNW & Institutional Wallets, Escrow Agents, Companies and Crypto Friendly banks and exchanges.
