Compliance fintech is a phrase that gets searched by two people: the one who wants a definition for a memo and the one who has to sign an attestation about it next quarter. This page is written for the second. For a fintech under money-transmission, lending or payments rules, compliance fintech comes down to a record and a set of figures: the record is the licences by state, the consumer disclosures, the complaints log and the third-party oversight, kept with an owner, a date and a status; the figures are the evidence load that record puts on its reviewers, the days an audit of it takes, the gaps an audit will find and what they cost, the incidents and cases it produces, and the training it requires. The sections below explain compliance fintech in those terms, say what it is not, and show where the free sheets on this site work each figure from the programme's own numbers with no account.
Compliance fintech, the sector's own shorthand
Compliance fintech is the phrase the sector uses for itself: the compliance function inside a fintech, and the software and services sold to it, rather than a regulation with that name. A fintech's programme is a register of licences by state with renewal dates, consumer disclosures by product, a complaints log with response clocks and third-party oversight of the banks and processors it rides on. The obligations register sheet on this site turns that register into reviewer hours and the months to a full attestation; the case aging sheet works the complaints backlog; the paid plan keeps the licences with their dates and emails the renewals.
What compliance fintech means in practice
For a fintech under money-transmission, lending or payments rules, it means being able to show, for each obligation, which control satisfies it, what evidence proves the control operated, who reviewed the evidence and who attested to the result. The record is the licences by state, the consumer disclosures, the complaints log and the third-party oversight. The regulator's own material, linked below, says what the obligations are; this site publishes none of that and no legal advice. What it publishes is the arithmetic: the obligations register sheet turns the count of obligations, controls and evidence items into reviewer hours and the months to a full attestation.
The figures behind compliance fintech
Evidence items and reviewer hours; audit samples, days and coverage; expected gaps, remediation hours and cost; incident hours; case backlog months; training seats outstanding. Each is a free sheet on this site and each computes from the programme's own inputs. For fintech regulation the sheet to start with is the obligations register sheet, which works the figure a fintech under money-transmission, lending or payments rules is examined on first. A programme that knows those numbers has stopped estimating its own compliance.
What compliance fintech is not
It is not a certificate, a piece of software or a consultant's memo, although all three are sold under the name. It is a record and the figures that follow from it, kept by the business that owes the obligations. The guide this page supports covers scoping regulatory compliance consulting from the register, the help a small business buys around that record. Attestvio Pro keeps the record at one flat price; the sheets are free with no account.
Questions people ask about compliance fintech
What is compliance fintech?
For a fintech under money-transmission, lending or payments rules: keeping the licences by state, the consumer disclosures, the complaints log and the third-party oversight as a record with an owner, a date and a status, and being able to show for each obligation the control, the evidence and the attestation. The regulator's own material, linked below, defines the obligations; the free sheets on this site work the arithmetic.
Who is responsible for compliance fintech in a small business?
The compliance officer, or the owner wearing that hat, who signs the attestation. The sheets on this site are written for that person and need no account.
Does Attestvio make a business compliant with fintech regulation?
No. The business meets the obligations; Attestvio keeps the record and works the figures, and publishes no rule and no advice. Counsel and the regulator's own material say what the obligations are.
