Whether you have a particular payments use case in mind or are a non-financial services firm wondering what payments or open banking can bring to your business, we love to find out and further explore with/for you! Please book a free introductory session with us for a first exchange of ideas.
We know the regulatory payments landscape. Whether you’re wondering if your services require a license or can (still, under PSD3) benefit from an exemption, or whether you’re launching a new product or distribution model, we can advise on the possibilities as well as the regulatory constraints. Feel free to book a free introductory session to assess your regulatory questions or concerns.
We have successfully guided payment institutions through their license application process. From defining the relevant license(s), to building your organisation from a governance (internal control) perspective, conceiving your policies and procedures based on bespoke workshops and proper risk assessments, training your people for ‘fit & proper’ purposes and compiling/submitting the application file, we manage the process from A to Z.
Besides advising on specific compliance issues, we can help you improve your compliance maturity level in accordance with established methodological frameworks and help you create a business culture that fully embeds compliance in your day-to-day processes. We can do that either from the side line, in a coaching role, training your compliance people and granting them access to our automated compliance tools, or by holding interim positions.
Our compliance team consists of highly specialised experts and includes certified information security specialists and DPOs as well as certified financial crime specialists.
From the terms and conditions governing your payment services or marketplace to complex outsourcing or ICT contracts, we have extensive experience in drafting and negotiating legal documentation. Legally correct and refined yet clear, well-structured and to-the-point defines our drafting style.
We are deeply ingrained in the sector. Whether you want to share experiences with likeminded fintechs, need an introduction with a service, software or infrastructure provider, looking for specialist advice beyond pure payments or even investors, we are happy to introduce you to the right persons in our network.
