How we work with you
The regulatory landscape for payment and e-money institutions is becoming increasingly complex and demanding. Staying compliant requires expert guidance and proactive support.
At Paywise Compliance, you’ll work directly with seasoned professionals—former industry insiders who understand your operational challenges and regulatory obligations. Our track record speaks for itself, with a 99% approval rate for regulatory applications. Beyond major projects like licensing, permissions, and Change in Control applications, we also provide ongoing compliance support to hundreds of payment service providers, helping them navigate day-to-day regulatory requirements with confidence.
No copy and paste
We understand that business needs can evolve rapidly, which is why we offer flexible service options and transparent pricing structures.
For all projects, we charge a fixed fee—this includes full support and unlimited follow-up with the regulator until your licence is successfully approved.
If you require continuous assistance, we also provide retainer-based services tailored to your ongoing compliance needs.
While many firms in the market compete on price alone, we focus on delivering exceptional value through high-quality, expert-led services at a fair and competitive rate.
Experts only
Many firms introduce you to a senior partner at the start, only to hand your project over to a junior consultant with little real-world experience. At Paywise Compliance, your project is led by the same seasoned consultant from start to finish—backed by a team of specialists with deep industry knowledge.
While most firms assign a single consultant to manage a project, this approach often falls short on complex authorisations. Expecting one person to cover specialised areas like IT controls or financial crime compliance can lead to shallow, substandard results.
We take a different approach. With us, you benefit from a multi-disciplinary team, each member bringing expertise in their specific domain. For IT and technical controls, you’ll work with professionals who have over a decade of hands-on experience. For financial crime matters, you’ll be guided by former MLROs who understand the regulatory landscape in depth.
Devil in the detail
Navigating regulatory processes requires both precision and experience. A single misstep—whether it’s a missing document or poorly worded response—can trigger weeks of delays, especially during authorisation applications where one error can result in a six to eight-week setback. That’s why accuracy is critical, and why you need experts who fully understand what the FCA expects. At Paywise Compliance, we pride ourselves on a 100% success rate, built on meticulous preparation and deep regulatory insight.
We treat every interaction with the FCA as a learning opportunity. When we notice the regulator shifting focus or increasing scrutiny in a particular area, we adapt our internal processes immediately. This proactive approach helps future clients avoid the same issues, streamlining applications and reducing unnecessary back-and-forth.
