Our Story

Regulatory Technology that is Straightforward. Scalable. Reliable.

Qomply was created in response to a gap in the market caused by the introduction of a complex body of transaction reporting regulations known as MiFID. Co-founders Michelle Zak and Stuart Hartley recognised that transaction reporting regimes placed a huge strain on financial firms not only in resourcing but also in the increased capital budget required to be compliant. At the time there were no technology solutions to help firms.

Michelle and Stuart founded Qomply to address this need by providing technology solutions to financial firms hardest hit by regulations.

Qomply’s platform is designed to mitigate regulatory risk. Whether you’re a Trading Venue, Swap Dealer, Investment Bank, or an independent hedge fund, our solutions provide reliable, comprehensive coverage and the confidence that your reporting is under control.

— Michelle Zak, Managing Director at Qomply

Qomply’s ReportAssure Platform, powered by its proprietary assurance engine, performs forensic-level accuracy checks for transaction reports across global reporting regimes. By delivering one of the most comprehensive arsenals of accuracy checks in the industry, Qomply gives its customers real peace of mind that their reports are as complete and accurate as possible.

One of the success factors in Qomply’s growth has been the way we divided access to the platform into separate modules. Larger firms operate multiple jurisidictions from one dashboard whilst smaller firms proceede step-by-step, subscribing to modules at a pace that makes sense for their requirements.

— Stuart Hartley, Managing Director at Qomply
