Themis is Defining Best Practices for Bank and Fintech Compliance

In a time when innovation is accelerating and financial services are being redefined, compliance must evolve with the pace of change. It’s no longer enough to manage compliance through spreadsheets, scattered emails, or general-purpose task trackers. Today, the institutions leading the way are those who treat compliance as a core capability, not a box to check.

At Themis, we’re not just adapting to this shift, we are creating the best practices. Themis is more than a general workflow tool; it’s a purpose-built compliance platform that brings together core GRC functions like risk assessments, control mapping, issue management, testing, complaint tracking, and marketing reviews into one centralized system. And it’s all designed with the entire Fintech relationship lifecycle in mind, from initial planning and onboarding to ongoing monitoring and eventual termination. Themis gives banks and Fintechs the structure, visibility, and collaboration needed to manage these relationships with confidence and control.

But Themis is more than a platform. It’s an ecosystem. As an industry compliance marketplace, Themis brings banks and Fintechs into one shared environment, enabling transparency, setting mutual expectations, and giving both sides the tools to move faster and with greater confidence.

Supported by compliance experts, Themis doesn’t just help you manage your program, it helps you build it, scale it, and prove it, all without expanding your headcount. Members of the Themis team will work directly with you to provide guidance, share best practices, and help implement your program within the platform. The result? Compliance becomes a strategic advantage, not just a regulatory requirement.
