OUR WINNING PARTNERS
How We Support Our Clients
From initial authorization through ongoing compliance, we're your trusted regulatory partner every step of the way.
What Our Clients Say
Trusted by hundreds of UK financial services firms for FCA authorisation and compliance.
During our payment services authorisation, we faced unexpected challenges with our case handler. MEMA advocated for us professionally, secured a case handler change, and supported us through personnel transitions. They even prepared our COO for the FCA interview. Authorised in 9 months despite the complexity - they went above and beyond.
Our compliance resource suddenly left, leaving us exposed to regulatory risk. MEMA stepped in immediately, conducted a full compliance review, and stabilised our operations over 6 months while we recruited. They prevented potential FCA scrutiny and got us back to a strong compliance footing.
We had compliance position issues flagged by the FCA during our investment authorisation. MEMA navigated the regulatory concerns with us, provided detailed supplementary evidence, and worked directly with the FCA to satisfy all queries. Their ex-regulator perspective was invaluable - we're now successfully authorised.

They replace our portfolio letters, which set out our expectations for firms in various markets.There were more than 40 of these letters, with some firms needing to work through several to understand what they needed to do. We know these created an extra layer of complexity, and we’ve responded to these concerns.What firms can expectThere are just 9 of the new publications, covering...
