Frequently asked
questions

What types of institutions do you work with?
plus icon
We specialize in working with banks, sponsor banks, and fintechs. Whether you're a traditional financial institution modernizing your compliance program, a sponsor bank managing fintech partnerships, or a fintech seeking sponsor bank relationships, we have the expertise to help.
How does AI factor into your services?
plus icon
AI is integrated into how we deliver—it organizes documents, accelerates analysis, and surfaces what matters. But it's not a separate client-facing system. Our practitioners use AI to work more effectively while owning every assessment, risk identification, and recommendation. AI accelerates; humans decide.
What's a typical engagement timeline?
plus icon
Timelines depend on engagement type, scope, and risk profile—which is why we configure workflows accordingly. Fintech onboarding assessments typically take 2-4 weeks. Periodic reviews and audits can often be completed in 2-3 weeks. We'll scope your specific engagement during our initial consultation.
How do you ensure regulatory defensibility?
plus icon
Consistent rigor with flexible execution. Our methodology is standardized and documented, but workflows adapt to your engagement type, scope, and risk profile. Our team—former regulators, CCOs, and General Counsels—applies the judgment examiners expect. Every recommendation is traceable and defensible.
Is our information kept confidential?
plus icon
Absolutely. We understand the sensitivity of compliance documentation and client data. All information is protected under strict confidentiality protocols, and we're happy to sign NDAs before any engagement begins.
