Business Issue

The client, a leading fintech firm offering corporate foreign exchange services, required regulatory support from fscom across two critical workstreams: breach notification to the FCA and a MiFID VoP. The client needed expert guidance to ensure compliance with FCA regulations, address a potential breach appropriately, and successfully amend their regulatory permissions.

fscom engaged with the FCA to address a potential breach, clarify regulatory permissions, and submit a SUP 15 breach notification with a remediation plan. They managed FCA liaison, drafted, and submitted the MiFID VoP application via the Connect Portal. The team updated compliance documents and provided ongoing support to ensure smooth FCA engagement.
