Payment Services

“When contracting a consultant in any field, the most difficult part is finding the right one. Based on our experience with Thistle, I can say that you are in safe and trustworthy hands. The role of a consultant is to support whatever it is you are trying to achieve, and Thistle did that for us in a very efficient and competent manner, so much so that we managed to attain our goal two months ahead of schedule! We also valued Thistle's willingness and patience in listening to the problems we were facing. Overall, I would highly recommend Thistle to anyone with great confidence.”

“From the beginning, the Thistle team were very knowledgeable about the payment services application process. The team took time to understand our needs, were easy to work with and it felt like they put a lot of effort into the application. Our authorised payment institution application was successful and was approved by the FCA with very minimal feedback, meaning we could start rolling out our services as soon as possible.”

“Thistle has supported us with our ongoing compliance requirements ever since they assisted us to become an authorised EMI. The team are highly knowledgeable in both the EMI and AML regulatory space. They are thorough and constructive with any feedback or advice and are able to assist with complex compliance matters in a digestible way, with a commercial mindset. I have found their audit process to be well constructed, detailed, and a vital asset in ensuring we are following our regulatory requirements. We look forward to working on the next project with the Thistle team.”
