FinTech: Automated Compliance Audit
Skyrocketing compliance costs and manual audit backlogs slowing down feature releases.
The Challenge: Regulatory Burden & Scale
Our client, a rapidly growing digital bank, was facing a critical bottleneck. Every new feature or update required a comprehensive compliance review against evolving EU banking regulations (GDPR, PSD2, AML).
The existing manual process involved a team of 30+ compliance officers reviewing code and documentation. This created a 3-week delay for every release, stifling innovation and allowing competitors to move faster. Additionally, human error in manual reviews posed a significant risk of regulatory fines.
Key Pain Points
- 3-week release delay due to compliance reviews
- High cost of manual audit teams
- Inconsistent interpretation of regulations
- Risk of fines from missed violations
