SAFEGUARDING

Safeguarding & Asset Protection

For Electronic Money Institutions (EMIs) and Payment Institutions (PIs), the protection of customer funds is a non-negotiable regulatory priority. Regulators globally are increasingly focused on ensuring that safeguarding arrangements are resilient enough to return customer funds quickly and in full in the event of insolvency. At Complyport, we provide the practitioner-led expertise required to navigate these complexities, ensuring your arrangements are technically robust, commercially practical and operationally effective.

By leveraging our integrated Governance, Risk, Compliance and Technology ecosystem, we help you maintain continuous regulatory readiness and high-integrity asset protection across the UK, EU, UAE, India and Mauritius.

Integrated Safeguarding Solutions

We offer a comprehensive suite of services designed to ensure your firm meets the highest global standards for fund protection:

• Safeguarding Health-Checks & Assurance: We deliver rigorous assurance programmes and “pre-audit health-checks” to ensure your firm is optimally positioned for statutory scrutiny and regulatory inspections.
• Regulatory Gap Analysis: A deep-dive assessment of your current arrangements against evolving requirements, providing a clear roadmap to address any structural or procedural shortfalls.
• Policy Review & Framework Drafting: Updating your governance frameworks, reconciliation procedures, and record-keeping standards to align with the latest regulatory expectations and payment services regulations.
• Impact Assessments: A proactive analysis of how shifting regimes affect your specific business model, identifying relevant customer funds and ensuring robust segregation from firm capital.
