Enhancing Compliance and Risk Management

In his new role, Clarke will play a pivotal part in overseeing all aspects of the firm's regulatory affairs, including Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Countering the Financing of Terrorism (CFT), and internal governance structures.

Having watched the firm's evolution within the payments and OTC space across jurisdictions, I have been consistently impressed by their focus on client-centric solutions and proactive compliance approaches. I look forward to working closely with Michael, Manu, and the entire team to ensure that our robust regulatory standards continue to support the firm's ambitious growth plans and provide our clients with the security and confidence they deserve."
