About FAP
Experienced judgement, close to the work.
Fintech Advisory Partners supports firms that need senior regulatory and operational leadership delivered in a practical, commercially realistic way.
Independent thinking. Direct access. Work that moves from board-level decisions into implementation.
The firm
Designed for consequential work.
Regulated financial services businesses rarely need advice in isolation. They need someone who can understand the proposition, challenge the control environment and help teams deliver the fix.
FAP works across financial crime, safeguarding, banking partner readiness, operating-model design, platform transformation and regulatory projects. The emphasis is on proportionate controls, clear evidence and changes that fit the business in practice.
Support can be targeted around a defined issue or extend across a broader transition, from early-stage white-label arrangements towards a more mature and operationally independent model.
