WHY COMPLYFIRST

Why UK PIs and EMIs choose us

Compatible with any data format

We work with any data extract you can produce — Excel, CSV, or a direct system export. We map it into the platform. No reformatting, no rekeying, no starting from scratch each month.


Validates before submission reaches RegData

Every return is checked against the FCA’s REP027 XSD schema before it reaches RegData. When something’s wrong, we translate the error message into clear "how-to-fix-it" steps.

Direct API Integration with FCA RegData

We have a direct API integration with the FCA RegData platform. No manual keying of fields line by line into RegData.

FAQs

Any UK payment institution or e-money institution that safeguards customer funds. That includes authorised PIs, EMIs, and small PIs or EMIs that have opted into the safeguarding regime.

Every month, within 15 business days of month-end.

Not necessarily. Sections 1, 2 and 9 apply to every firm in scope. Sections 3–8 only apply if you were required to safeguard during the period. If your firm includes unrelated payment services, sections 10–17 apply too.

You can, but this is a monthly commitment. The manual approach gets painful quickly, and it leaves you with no audit trail if the FCA ever comes back with questions.
