Alumni Compliance Launches Two Specialist FCA Authorisation Services For Money Remittance / Hawala And Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) Firms

London, UK - 10 September 2025 - Alumni Compliance today announces two specialist consultancy services for UK firms seeking Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) registration or authorisation.

Support for Money Remittance and Hawala registration

The first service supports money remittance and hawala firms requiring FCA registration or authorisation as a Payment Institution for money remittance payment services only.

Help with Buy Now Pay Later Authorisation

The second service focuses on help for Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) firms . Alumni Compliance supports new BNPL entrants seeking FCA authorisation from Regulation Day and existing BNPL providers that may need to navigate any FCA Temporary Permissions Regime with a view to becoming fully authorised and compliant by Regulation Day. Support covers the full BNPL authorisation process - from checking product design and disclosures sit within the FCA's perimeter, through implementing Consumer Duty and affordability standards, to ensuring fair financial promotions and robust merchant oversight.

“Our mission is to remove friction from authorisation and embed controls that scale,” said a spokesperson for Alumni Compliance.“We combine deep payments and credit expertise with pragmatic documentation so businesses can focus on customers while meeting FCA expectations. All of our services are provided by former FCA staff so we know exactly what the regulator are expecting as part of your application to them.”

Why Alumni Compliance?
The boutique consultancy brings sector-specific experience in remittance corridors and hawala networks, alongside hands-on BNPL delivery. Firms planning FCA applications for money remittance or preparing for BNPL Regulation Day can request an initial scoping call with the team.
