    Principal PI Onboarding Support

    We support preparation for due diligence and onboarding with a suitable regulated principal, including the corporate, ownership, operational and compliance information commonly required by Payment Institutions.

    FCA PSD Agent Registration Support

    We prepare and coordinate the information required for the principal firm to register its payment services agent with the FCA, and support responses to additional compliance or regulatory queries.

    AML/CTF Policies & Risk Assessments

    We develop or review AML/CTF policies, business-wide risk assessments, customer risk assessments, CDD/EDD procedures, sanctions and PEP controls, transaction monitoring and suspicious activity escalation procedures.

    We help directors, managers and key personnel prepare the governance, competence and background information required for principal due diligence and regulatory scrutiny.

    We review customer journeys, flow of funds, record keeping, complaints, outsourcing, monitoring and other controls required to operate effectively under the principal's oversight framework.
