About us
At API Compliance, we specialise in helping payment and electronic money firms thrive in a complex regulatory landscape. We’re a specialist regulatory consultancy but our focus isn’t only on compliance. Instead, we’re deeply invested in providing the strategic insight and guidance your team needs to build a resilient, successful business.
Founded in 2014, we have supported firms with operations in the UK and Europe for over a decade, providing proportionate, practical advice grounded in real-world experience. We partner with businesses we believe in, taking a selective approach to ensure we deliver successful outcomes — diligence that is reflected in our 99% approval rate for all regulatory applications.
