Compliance your sponsor bank will actually sign off on.
RADD builds, assesses, and runs the compliance programs fintechs and sponsor banks need to launch — and stay live. Discovery to build-out to ongoing support, from a U.S.-based team with 250+ years of combined regulatory experience.
Your sponsor bank can pull the plug faster than you can fix the gaps.
Fintech compliance lives and dies by the sponsor bank’s confidence. When their oversight team asks for a control you haven’t documented, “we’ll build it” buys you weeks — not months.
Where fintech programs break
- Controls the sponsor bank asked for that nobody documented
- Diligence questionnaires answered from memory instead of evidence
- BSA/AML coverage that stops at the bank’s edge
- A launch date that slips every time oversight asks a question
And the pressure is only getting heavier. Sponsor banks are tightening diligence on their fintech partners, examiners are scrutinizing bank-fintech programs harder than ever, and a single unaddressed finding can stall a launch or end a partnership.
For a growing fintech, that’s not a compliance problem. It’s an existential one.
You need a compliance partner who speaks both languages — fintech and examiner.
RADD works both sides of the sponsor-bank relationship, so we know exactly what the bank’s oversight team needs to see and how to give it to them.
Our team brings 250+ years of combined regulatory compliance experience, is entirely U.S.-based, and holds the certifications — CAMS, CRCM, CIA, CISA — that make a program credible to a sponsor bank and an examiner alike.
We don’t just tell you what’s missing. We build it, document it, and help you keep it running.
- 250+ years of combined regulatory compliance experience

- We work both sides: fintechs and their sponsor banks
The R.A.D.D. Compliance Confidence Framework™
You shouldn’t have to figure out where to start. Our four-step framework turns regulatory uncertainty into a clear path forward — built around your institution’s size, business lines, and risk profile.
Reveal Risks
We uncover the regulatory gaps, operational risks, and audit vulnerabilities specific to your institution through a proactive compliance assessment — before an examiner finds them first.
Align & Analyze
We benchmark your current compliance posture against examiner expectations and board priorities, including emerging risks like crypto, fintech partnerships, IT compliance, and privacy laws (CCPA/GLBA).
Design Your Compliance Roadmap
You get a customized, board-ready roadmap with priorities, timelines, resource recommendations, and predictive strategies to eliminate future findings — not just the ones you already know about.
Deliver & Defend
We execute the roadmap alongside your team — through tailored audit engagements or our RADD Assist subscription — and stand with you in front of examiners, the audit committee, and the board.

What it looks like when compliance stops being the bottleneck.
A documented program your sponsor bank signs off on. Diligence answered before it’s asked. Exams you walk into prepared instead of scrambling. And a compliance partner who scales with you, so the next partnership or product doesn’t start the fire drill all over again.
Compliance stops being the thing that slows the business down and becomes the thing that lets it grow.
