Payments Compliance Services

The fintech and payments space is evolving at an astounding rate. The need for firms to adapt is drastically increasing, as are the number of complications that they face when trying to stay compliant. A lack of proper payments compliance can be detrimental to the success of a firm, but it shouldn’t hold you back.

 

At Moorwand, we know how important it is for programme managers to focus on scaling their businesses, so we want to help you do just that.

 

Moorwand’s new suite of payments compliance services seek to improve the financial crime systems and controls of our clients. We will analyse what our PMs currently have in place, and offer alternative solutions up to and including Moorwand managing the entire function. We aim to ensure that our programme managers minimise the risk from money laundering, terrorism financing, fraud (including APP), and other types of scams.
