The Master Fee Protection Agreement is designed for use in the Maltese financial services sector where there is a need to establish a secure framework for protecting and managing client fees. This agreement is particularly relevant in scenarios where businesses require a regulated structure for holding and protecting client funds, ensuring compliance with Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) requirements and relevant financial services regulations. The document addresses key aspects such as fund custody, release mechanisms, compliance requirements, reporting obligations, and risk management measures. It is commonly used by financial institutions, professional services firms, and corporate service providers operating in Malta who need to demonstrate robust client money protection arrangements. The agreement takes into account Malta's specific regulatory requirements while providing flexibility to accommodate various business models and client relationships.
