SMB and Mid-market financial firms face the same regulatory scrutiny as the largest players, but without the deep pockets or armies of compliance staff to match. Many still rely on outdated, manual, or fragmented review processes, which slow decision-making and stretch already-limited resources. In this environment, even small inefficiencies can

Visa's data indicates that stablecoin transactions hit $44.7T over the last 12 months, and money rarely sprints that far unless it has found a faster track. I am not in the prophecy business, yet scale like this usually means a technology has crossed from novelty to infrastructure. What does the $44.7T actually represents? It is not a single u

There is a contradiction at the heart of the UK economy. Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) employ six in ten people and generate £2.8 trillion in turnover, yet when consumers were asked if the UK is a good place for them, only 23% of consumers said yes. That figure should stop us in our tracks. When confidence in SMEs is low, it seeps into...

Private equity sits on top of $2.51 trillion in dry powder globally, yet firms still struggle to deploy capital fast enough. What once looked like an execution challenge has become a structural crisis: speed is now the defining constraint. If you’re operating at yesterday’s pace, you’re already behind. Three years ago, partners weren’t pressed by ...

I spent the summer reflecting on the challenges of legacy technology stacks (or LegTech for short) within our industry. It's a problem that has blighted our industry for years and it is only going to get worse as New Tech (AI anyone) leaves Trad Tech jogging in its smoke. Now multiply this problem by T+1, 24x7 trading and DORA regulations and ...
