Regulatory and Compliance

Overview

A major issue faced by many fintech and tech companies is compliance with applicable laws and regulations, especially given how heavily regulated the fintech industry is. Investors backing a company also want to make sure that the investee company has obtained all applicable and material licenses before betting their money on them.  

 

At Credence, we understand the importance of compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and have a deep knowledge of all laws and regulations that are applicable to fintech and other technology companies across sectors. We have a strong relationship with regulators, including the Central Bank of Nigeria, the Securities and Exchange Commission, data protection authorities and bureau in different countries, and the Nigerian Communications Commission, and as a result, we help clients comply with all regulatory requirements seamlessly. 

 

Aside from helping clients obtain licenses and approvals from regulators, our legal support extends to helping clients develop compliance manuals, calendars and policies that ensure they do not miss their compliance obligations.
