Teams Without In-House Compliance

For companies without a full compliance team, Finhost delivers senior expertise and ongoing regulatory support — without the overhead.

What is Compliance as a Service?

Compliance as a Service is a fully managed compliance solution designed for fintech and digital finance companies. Instead of building an in-house compliance team, businesses can outsource the function to a specialized provider like Finhost. We act as your dedicated outsourced compliance officer, offering continuous support across licensing, monitoring, KYC/KYB processes, reporting, and more — all while ensuring you stay up-to-date with the latest legal and regulatory obligations.

Compliance as a Service

Whether you’re launching a fintech startup, running a crypto platform, or scaling an embedded finance product, compliance requirements can quickly become overwhelming. That’s where Compliance as a Service (CaaS) from Finhost comes in.

What’s Included in Our Compliance Service

We offer a comprehensive package that includes:

  • 1. Development & Maintenance of Compliance Policies

    We draft, implement, and maintain your internal compliance documentation — including AML/CTF policies, transaction monitoring procedures, customer onboarding workflows, and more. All documents are aligned with your business model, jurisdiction, and regulatory environment.

  • 2. Bank & Payment Provider Onboarding Support

    Opening accounts with banks and payment service providers (PSPs) can be complex for fintech companies. We assist with document preparation, compliance reviews, and communications with financial institutions to improve approval chances.

  • 3. Regulatory Reporting

    We manage your periodic regulatory submissions, including suspicious activity reports (SARs), annual audits, and compliance attestations. Timely and accurate reporting helps you avoid fines and maintain a good relationship with regulators.

  • 4. Regulatory & Banking Inquiry Management

    From ad hoc compliance requests to full audits, we handle communications with regulators and banking partners on your behalf. Our experts ensure proper documentation, timely responses, and clear explanations of your compliance stance.

  • 5. Transaction Monitoring Oversight

    We supervise your AML/CTF transaction monitoring setup — whether it’s automated or manual. We help fine-tune rules, review red flags, and support escalation protocols in accordance with best practices and regulatory expectations.

  • 6. KYC/KYB Compliance Oversight

    From policy development to day-to-day verification flows, we oversee your Know Your Customer (KYC) and Know Your Business (KYB) processes. This includes vendor selection (e.g., Sumsub, Veriff), periodic review support, and regulatory audit preparation.

Our Key Benefits

With 10+ years of EU and UK regulatory experience, Finhost’s Compliance as a Service helps fintechs scale confidently without legal complexity.

  • Trusted Compliance Expertise

    Our compliance managers working with: EMIs and PIs under PSD2, crypto companies under MiCA and local VASP rules, open banking providers, cross-border fintech platforms

  • Always Up-to-Date

    We actively monitor regulatory changes from EBA, FCA, BaFin, CNMV, and other key authorities, ensuring your business stays aligned with the latest requirements — from licensing to reporting.

  • Speed & Simplicity

    We accelerate your market entry with ready-to-use compliance frameworks, policies, and documentation tailored to your business model and geography.

  • Cross-Jurisdictional Scalability

    Launch and grow across multiple EU and UK markets with a single partner who understands the local nuances and keeps your operations aligned and audit-ready.

  • Lower Operational Cost

    Building an in-house compliance team is costly and time-consuming. Finhost offers flexible, fractional access to senior compliance professionals — at a fraction of the cost.

How the Process Works

Our CaaS onboarding and execution model is designed to be fast and flexible:

  • We start by learning about your business through a short discovery session — reviewing your model, target markets, and existing compliance setup.

    01STEP
  • We identify regulatory gaps and risks, then build or update your compliance framework to meet EU and UK standards

    02STEP
  • We stay with you as your ongoing partner — managing compliance tasks, maintaining regulator communications, and supporting you through audits and expansion.

    03STEP

Compliance is an Enabler — Not a Barrier

Fintech growth is directly tied to your ability to meet evolving compliance standards. A single missed report or improperly handled onboarding can result in:

  • Delayed product launches
  • Loss of banking relationships
  • Fines or licensing restrictions
  • Damage to investor and partner trust

With Finhost’s CaaS, you stay ahead of risk — and gain peace of mind knowing your compliance is always covered.
