FinTech developments have been coming thick and fast in recent years. Besides rapid technological developments, this is also due to new European financial regulatory legislation.
This means that a thorough knowledge of financial regulatory legislation is imperative for a FinTech company. And that’s when it’s time to call in Finnick.
With years of legal knowledge and experience in financial enterprises and FinTech companies under our belt, Finnick is proud to call itself expert in this field.
Finnick is not alone in this, of course, but combined with an entrepreneurial and result-oriented approach, Finnick is able to offer concrete and to-the-point solutions. Both for large projects and integrations, as well as for smaller legal issues.
