Cosegic, a compliance and regulatory advisory group, has acquired FINTRAIL, a specialist financial crime consultancy, in a deal designed to broaden the group’s financial crime and regulatory risk capabilities.
The acquisition is intended to strengthen Cosegic’s bench of specialist expertise as regulatory expectations increase, giving clients access to deeper support across financial crime risk management and wider regulatory risk needs. 4) What each company does
Cosegic provides compliance and regulatory support, combining specialist expertise with technology and advisory services to help firms manage regulatory change, improve controls and strengthen operational resilience across multiple jurisdictions.
FINTRAIL advises organisations on financial crime risk management, regulatory compliance and controls design, working across banking, payments, FinTech and digital assets, with a focus on practical support for firms navigating real-world regulatory challenges.
Cosegic said the full FINTRAIL team will join the group, expanding the depth and scale of services available to clients and increasing capacity across financial crime and regulatory risk work.
The group positioned the deal as part of continued investment in specialist capability, aiming to help clients move beyond “regulatory burden” and build stronger organisations in more complex regulatory environments. Cosegic also framed the combination as a blend of expertise, technology and proactive advice intended to support culture, safeguard stakeholders and enhance resilience.
Cosegic CEO Ben Cook said, “FINTRAIL has an exceptional specialist team, and bringing them into Cosegic strengthens an already strong financial crime capability. This move makes sense for our clients, gives us an additional edge, and reinforces our commitment to investing in specialist expertise as regulatory expectations continue to rise. This acquisition of FINTRAIL is an exciting step for Cosegic.”
FINTRAIL CEO Robert Evans said, “We are joining Cosegic at an exciting time for both businesses. FINTRAIL was founded to provide practical, high-quality financial crime support to firms facing real regulatory challenges, and becoming part of Cosegic allows us to build on that mission at a greater scale. We are delighted to join an established compliance company that shares our focus on integrity and delivering outcomes that matter to clients.”
Cosegic senior managing director and head of corporate development Nancy King said, “This acquisition aligns closely with our strategy of building targeted, specialist capability in areas of increasing regulatory focus. FINTRAIL adds deep financial crime expertise to our platform, enhancing our ability to support clients across the full regulatory lifecycle. Getting to know Rob and team has been a privilege, and we can’t wait to get started.”
MML investment director Henry Alty said, “This is the second acquisition completed by Cosegic in as many months. MML is pleased to be working with the Cosegic Management Team to support a national and international buy-and-build strategy, focused on developing a suite of specialist financial services compliance capabilities in key global markets.”
