Alumni Compliance Launches Specialist Consultancy Services for Payment Institution and BNPL Firms Preparing for FCA Regulation Day
London, UK – On Thursday, September 11, 2025, Alumni Compliance announced the launch of two specialist consultancy services to assist UK firms in obtaining Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) registration or authorisation. These services are designed to streamline the application process for Payment Institution and Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) providers, and to help them prepare for FCA Regulation Day.
The first service offered by Alumni Compliance is specifically tailored for money remittance and hawala firms seeking FCA registration or authorisation for money remittance payment services only. The consultancy firm also offers support for BNPL firms, including both new entrants seeking FCA authorisation and existing providers that may need assistance navigating the FCA Temporary Permissions Regime in order to become fully authorised and compliant by Regulation Day. Support for BNPL firms covers all aspects of the authorisation process, from ensuring product design and disclosures are within the FCA’s guidelines, to implementing Consumer Duty and affordability standards, and ensuring fair financial promotions and robust merchant oversight.
“Our goal is to make the authorisation process as smooth as possible and to establish controls that can be easily scaled,” said a spokesperson for Alumni Compliance. “We have a team of experts with extensive knowledge in the payments and credit industries, and we provide practical documentation so that businesses can focus on serving their customers while meeting FCA expectations. All of our services are provided by former FCA staff, so we have a deep understanding of what the regulator is looking for in an application.”
Alumni Compliance is a boutique consultancy that brings a wealth of experience in remittance corridors and hawala networks, as well as hands-on delivery in the BNPL sector. Firms planning to apply for FCA authorisation for money remittance or preparing for BNPL Regulation Day can schedule an initial scoping call with the team. These consultations are confidential, without obligation, and can be tailored to fit the schedules of senior management teams.
