Serving Cardiff

FCA Compliance Consultants in Cardiff

MEMA provides FCA authorisation and compliance support to firms in Cardiff and across Wales. Our ex-FCA regulators help the Welsh capital's financial and professional services firms meet their regulatory obligations.

Supporting regulated firms in Wales

Cardiff is the centre of financial and professional services in Wales, with a strong presence in insurance, banking operations, consumer credit and a growing fintech scene. We support insurance intermediaries and providers with ICOBS and Consumer Duty obligations, consumer credit and lending firms with CONC and affordability requirements, and newer fintech and payments businesses scoping authorisation. Our work spans Cardiff, Newport and the wider South Wales region.

How we work with Cardiff firms

MEMA is a London-based consultancy led by ex-FCA regulators. We serve Cardiff firms remotely — compliance monitoring, policy drafting, authorisation applications and ongoing advisory are all delivered securely by video and document sharing — with on-site visits arranged whenever they add value. You get direct regulatory experience without the cost of an in-house compliance function or a local retainer premium.
