Serving Newcastle

FCA Compliance Consultants in Newcastle

MEMA supports financial services and fintech firms across Newcastle and the North East of England with FCA authorisation and ongoing compliance. Our ex-FCA regulators help the region's growing technology-led finance sector navigate the regulatory perimeter.

Supporting regulated firms in the North East of England

Newcastle has developed a fast-growing fintech and technology cluster alongside its established base of consumer credit, payments and insurance firms. We support early-stage fintechs scoping whether their model needs FCA authorisation, payment and e-money firms building safeguarding and governance frameworks, consumer credit providers meeting CONC and affordability requirements, and mortgage and insurance intermediaries across the North East. For new entrants, our perimeter and authorisation work helps avoid costly missteps before launch.

How we work with Newcastle firms

MEMA is a London-based consultancy led by ex-FCA regulators. We serve Newcastle 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.
