The Fintech Compliance Challenge: Complex Rules, High Stakes
The fintech landscape is growing under the most demanding regulatory scrutiny in the world. With evolving frameworks like PSD2, AMLD6, FCA SYSC, and GDPR, it’s no longer enough to “tick boxes” — investors, partners, and regulators expect proof, precision, and continual oversight.
Common pain points for fintech teams include:
- ⚠️ Disconnected risk and compliance data spread across tools and teams
- ⚠️ Manual evidence tracking in endless spreadsheets
- ⚠️ Costly delays in audits and regulator reviews
- ⚠️ Customer due diligence (CDD) friction with banks and partners
- ⚠️ Limited visibility of risk exposure for leadership and boards
- ⚠️ Compliance fatigue in fast-scaling operations
“87% of fintech firms report duplicated compliance effort due to fragmented tools (State of Infosec Report 2024).”
