Our take
The demand for financial compliance tools has increased dramatically since the Financial Crisis. Yet, current technology offerings fail to capture the way officials dealing with this issue actually work.
In response, Themis offers pay-as-you-go compliance for banks, fintechs, and crypto startups. In particular, Themis allows compliance-focused employees to manage workflows effectively while emphasizing collaboration amongst compliance staff both within firms and between them and their partners and regulators.
The company is now focused on expanding its compliance features to focus on crypto startups. In the opinion of Themis’s leadership, there is a great deal more work to be done in this area beyond just the current focus on know-your-customer and anti-money laundering efforts.
