Financial Services

Accessible and safe financial services are the backbone of any prosperous society. We believe that financial services should be frictionless, digital, and secure for both users and society at large.

We are proud to be based in Lithuania, where favourable yet rigorous regulation and strong institutional support have positioned our country as a leading Fintech and financial services hub in Europe.

This offers numerous opportunities, along with some challenges, which we help our clients navigate—business strategy and planning, digital and customer-centric transformations, licensing (one-off licences, licence upgrades, passporting), AML/CTF and sanctions compliance, ICT governance, risk management, process and service design, digital transformation, and talent-as-a-service solutions.

Selected engagements

Risk Assessments Models

We have developed risk assessment solutions tailored for financial institutions. Our data models cover enterprise-wide self-assessments in anti-money laundering (AML), counter-terrorism financing (CTF), sanctions, and information, communication, and technology (ICT) risks. These models are currently used by over 30 financial institutions and fintechs across multiple jurisdictions, receiving positive feedback from both authorities and industry leaders.

Licencing Services

We have supported a growing number of e-money institutions (EMI), payment institutions (PI), financial brokerage firms, virtual asset service providers (VASP), and banking license applicants with the Bank of Lithuania and the Malta Financial Services Authority. Our clients include well-established local market players, major global and European fintechs, as well as early-stage start-ups and investors. From 2020 to 2024, we have executed over 30 licensing-related engagements.

Risk Management

We helped our client establish their risk management activities, including defining strategy, policies, and procedures, setting, measuring, and managing risk appetite, identifying and assessing risks, and developing risk management plans and reporting mechanisms.

DORA Regulations

We have worked with several early adopters of European Union’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) to support compliance with the regulation.

Talent As-A-Service

We supported a Copenhagen-based Fintech by assisting in the recruitment, onboarding, operation, and eventual wind-down of a remote Vilnius-based team of data scientists.

Business Analytics

We supported a local central bank with business analyst services for a Treasury and Risk Management System (TRMS) upgrade. Project deliverables included defining requirements and acceptance criteria for a future in-house-developed TRMS, covering end-to-end processes in front, middle, and back-office operations.
