    The Challenge

    Manually built compliance journeys are fragile by design.

    Most platforms assemble onboarding, investor checks, and promotion flows in-house. They take months to build, require constant testing, and still regularly fall short of FCA requirements.

    01

    Hand-built compliance journeys

    Teams spend months coding FCA onboarding flows that are complex, fragile, and difficult to keep consistent.

    02

    Audit-grade evidence gaps

    When regulators ask how a customer was assessed, decision evidence is scattered across systems instead of stored in a clear audit trail.

    03

    Hidden regulatory exposure

    Outdated rule logic, inconsistent assessments, and manual interventions create breach and complaints risk.

    04

    Conversion versus compliance tension

    Platforms must block unsuitable investors without deterring good ones, yet most lack tools to measure or optimise this trade-off.

    What You Get

    Compliance automation for regulated FinTech platforms

    We help teams design, run, and maintain regulatory customer journeys and compliance workflows without hand-building complex logic, rewriting flows for every rule change, or scrambling during audits.

    Regulatory Updates as a Service

    FCA guidance is continuously monitored and translated into updated regulatory logic, ensuring your platform remains aligned without internal re-interpretation or redevelopment.

    Rule engine updated
    COBS 4.12A synced
    Consumer Duty aligned

    FCA-Aligned Rules Engine

    Structured rulesets implement COBS 4.12A/B/C, appropriateness testing, financial promotion controls, and Consumer Duty requirements within a consistent decision framework.

    COBS 4.12A/B/C
    COBS 10
    PROD
    Consumer Duty

    Audit-ready decision records

    All assessments are fully traceable. Every decision is timestamped, every rule application recorded, and complete evidence trails can be produced on request.

    Configurable without redevelopment

    New products and customer journeys can be implemented through configuration rather than engineering rebuilds, reducing time to market and dependency on legal review cycles.

    Institutionalised regulatory logic

    Regulatory interpretation and decision logic are maintained within the platform, ensuring continuity and consistency beyond individual staff or teams.

    Integration with existing journeys

    Embeddable interfaces and APIs integrate with existing customer experiences while Sentiquo manages the underlying compliance logic.
