For FCA-authorised fintechs, EMIs, payments, and regulated finance

Fintech AI
the FCA can audit.

Production AI for KYC / KYB document classification, AML screening copilots, sanctions reasoning, and audit-ready model documentation — deployed in 4 to 8 weeks, with the audit trail your second-line and the FCA actually want to see.

You can ship AI, or you can ship FCA-defensible AI.

Most fintechs have a working AI proof-of-concept and a compliance team that will not sign off on it. We close the gap.

01

Hiring analysts to keep up with onboarding

Onboarding volumes 30% up quarter-on-quarter. KYC turnaround at 48 hours. Every additional analyst is a six-month decision and still not enough.

02

Model risk on a hallucinating LLM

Off-the-shelf chatbots cannot be deployed against PEPs and adverse media without a model risk framework, technical documentation, and a way to prove non-hallucinating outputs.

03

EU AI Act + Consumer Duty + MLD6 stacked

High-risk classification under the EU AI Act, Consumer Duty for UK retail, MLD6 for AML, plus your own Permission… all needing a single coherent posture rather than four separate ones.

Production fintech AI with the audit trail bolted on first.

We build AI systems that pass second-line review and an FCA conduct visit, not AI demos that look good in a board pack.

  • KYC / KYB document classification Auto-classify passports, utility bills, corporate filings, sanctions hits. Human-in-the-loop with full audit trace and confidence-banded routing.
  • AML & sanctions reasoning copilot Adverse media, sanctions, and PEP screening with cited sources. Senior analysts review — AI handles the legwork without inventing facts.
  • Model risk documentation pack Technical documentation, intended purpose, risk assessment, post-market monitoring plan — aligned with EU AI Act Annex IV and FCA SS1/23 expectations.
  • Continuous evaluation harness Hallucination rate, citation accuracy, retrieval recall — tracked on production traffic, with alerting when drift exceeds thresholds.

Common questions before we talk.

Are you AI Act / FCA-registered as an AI provider?

We are not a regulated entity. We deliver AI systems for clients who are. Our role is to build, document, and harden the system to meet your regulatory posture; the deployment and use sit with you.

Can you sign onto our existing model risk framework?

Yes. We have worked under SS1/23 (PRA model risk), EBA guidelines, and home-grown MRMs. We deliver technical documentation in your preferred template.

What does it cost?

Every engagement is scoped after a 30-minute discovery call and a workflow review with your second-line. We send a written, fixed-scope proposal — with timeline, model risk documentation included, and a transparent quote — within 5 working days.

Can it run in our VPC / our cloud?

Yes. We deploy in your AWS / GCP / Azure account or on Scaleway / OVHcloud, with our team operating against your environment under DPA. No data leaves your perimeter unless you authorise it.

Ship AI your second line will sign off on.
