Our Services
Regulatory & Business Model Assessment
We assess your proposed payment services, customer types, transaction flows, payment corridors, delivery channels and operational structure to identify the appropriate agent model and key regulatory requirements.
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.
Governance & Fitness and Propriety Readiness
We help directors, managers and key personnel prepare the governance, competence and background information required for principal due diligence and regulatory scrutiny.
Operational & Compliance Readiness
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.
Ongoing PSD Agent Compliance
After registration, we provide policy updates, compliance monitoring, AML reviews, training, regulatory change support and preparation for principal oversight reviews or audits.
Why Acumen Global Compliance?
Acumen Global Compliance combines payments-sector regulatory knowledge with practical implementation support. Our objective is not simply to prepare an application, but to help establish a compliant operating framework that can withstand principal and regulatory scrutiny.
