Problems We Solve

As regulatory requirements become more onerous and detailed, maintaining an up to date master data profile of each market participant has become extremely challenging.

  • Disparate systems make it difficult for regulators to collect and assess master data changes in a straightforward manner.
  • Poor systems jeopardise the supervisory authority's ability to meet SLA commitments with the industry.
  • Master data profile data may become inaccurate, resulting in regulatory and reputational risk.

Key Benefits

Vizor Licensing and Regulatory Transactions supports the complete lifecycle for licensing and authorisation of market participants including investment funds.

  • A pre-built portal with out-of-the-box forms and templates that support a structured authorisation process.
  • Streamlined workflows that reduce the administration overhead on staff and ensure regulated entity data change requests are assessed within SLA timeframes.
  • Manage the fitness and probity assessment of key individuals.
