Nov22176 The Fintech industry is a technology enabled world that requires experience with AI, blockchain, cloud computing, and large financial services. Some of us need expert guidance from compliance consultants in order to succeed so we’ve found the perfect firm for the job. Thistle Initiatives is a compliance consultancy firm with a difference. Being market leading experts in compliance & regulation for Fintech businesses, they can provide both capacity and capability as and where it is needed. Here we speak to Group Managing Director, Sophie Long, of Thistle Initiatives about its success as it wins this award in this 2022 programme. Thistle Initiatives delivers financial services compliance in a simple and uncomplicated way – filling us with confidence for the future. A trailblazer in its industry, Thistle Initiatives is part of the Thistle Group, which also consists of Absolute Cover - an insurance broker dedicated to financial services firms. Thistle Initiatives strives to offer compliance guidance and support to financial service firms across the UK, so that their clients can continue achieving more. Its tailored help ensures relief and unrivalled guidance that will inevitably change the way clients operate on a daily basis. Sophie informs us, “We provide a bespoke service to each client. Our priority is to make sure that we offer accurate and pertinent information as well as aiding businesses in putting it into practice.” Thistle Initiatives helps a huge collection of clients to understand the beauty of Fintech solutions, and does so by consistently expanding its already massively diverse services. From acquisition due diligence to financial crime, compliance support, audits and advisory, ICARA and FCA reporting, and applications, including FCA Authorisation, Thistle Initiatives assists in all matters within the financial technology industry. The clients it serves all rely on its expert skills, knowledge, and experience to act accordingly in business. By doing, and not delegating, Thistle Initiatives keeps everything working smoothly from the very first steps to those final leaps. “We aim to be a leader in the regulatory field for financial services firms. Our objective has been, and will continue to be, to assist businesses in navigating their industries with the assurance that they are compliant in a constantly changing regulatory framework.” For 2023, and beyond, Thistle Initiatives plans on becoming the leading provider in its industry. Sophie tells us, “In November 2022, Thistle Initiatives Group acquired ATEB IT Solutions Limited and ATEB Business Solutions Limited.” James Dingwall, Chief Executive Officer of Thistle Initiatives, said, “We have worked with both ATEB IT Solutions and ATEB Business Solutions on several occasions, and we have found the team to be highly valuable, insightful, and supportive to its current client base.” It is clear that Thistle Initiatives is focused on delivering topquality services whilst constantly evolving its solutions. Its initiative makes anything possible, and its acquisition of ATEB IT Solutions and ATEB Business Solutions has only made it stronger and more successful. Winning Most Innovative Fintech Compliance Consultancy, UK, Thistle Initiatives has gained even more recognition for all it does – and we’re looking forward to seeing what it does next.
