Selected client testimonials
Ingrid’s FINMA background was decisive for us. Our SRO membership through VQF came through in three months and the AML programme she designed has held up under our annual external audit.
FINMA fintech licence is a serious application. The team’s grasp of the prudential requirements and the FINMA Circular 2008/21 was apparent from the first call. Authorised in nine months.
Solid FINMA work. The fees are higher than offshore alternatives but you are buying institutional credibility. The banking access we got post-licence pays for itself.
