Financial Services
Financial services operate where the law is densest. We support banks, payment and financial institutions in licensing and compliance.
Financial services operate where the law is densest, and in Ukraine it changes quickly: the new law on payment services, the regulation of virtual assets and a gradual convergence with EU banking standards have rewritten the rules for banks, payment and financial institutions. Martial law has added to this currency restrictions, heightened sanctions and financial monitoring, and raised requirements for verifying the origin of funds.
We support banks, payment and financial institutions in licensing, the building of compliance programmes and dealings with the National Bank, and fintech ventures through the regulatory requirements for payment services, e-money and virtual assets. Facility documentation, security, the system of financial monitoring and sanctions screening we build so that they withstand both the regulator’s scrutiny and real risk.
