Your Support · Career-Long Guidance

The support your career needs.
Without assembling it yourself.

A career in regulated financial services does not come with a manual. Moving into fintech from traditional financial services. Navigating a difficult situation at a regulated firm. Managing your IAF obligations across a new appointment. These are the moments Sigmentix is built for.

Transitions Into fintech, new sectors, new functions
Regulatory IAF, PCF obligations, CBI guidance
Situations Difficult moments, handled with context

I've spent 12 years in banking compliance and I'm being approached by a Series B fintech. What do I need to think about before I make the jump?

Sigmentix
From your record and peer cohort:

Regulatory continuity: Your PCF approval does not transfer automatically. The new firm must submit a fresh pre-approval application to the CBI before you can take up the role1.

Peers: 9 professionals from your cohort made a comparable move from banking to regulated fintech in the last 3 years2. The biggest adjustments were pace, governance maturity, and resourcing.

Four things worth working through before you respond:
1 CBI fitness and probity regime, PCF pre-approval
2 Peer cohort, banking to regulated fintech transitions, anonymised
Briefings draw from regulatory guidance, peer experience, and your specific situation.

The career decisions that matter most are the ones with no obvious place to turn.

Moving sector. A difficult situation at your current firm. A regulatory question you cannot ask your employer. A performance conversation that does not feel right. None of these come with a helpline. Sigmentix is the place you go instead.

Support that understands your world.

Every briefing and every piece of guidance on Sigmentix is informed by your record, your regulatory context, and your specific situation. Not generic. Not templated. Yours.

🗺

Career Transitions

Moving from traditional financial services into fintech. Switching from a large bank to a boutique regulated firm. Returning after a career break. Sigmentix gives you peer intelligence, regulatory clarity, and a realistic view of what the transition actually involves.

📋

Regulatory Obligations

Your specific PCF and IAF obligations, explained in plain terms. What you are personally accountable for at each stage of an appointment. What the CBI expects when you move firms, take on a new function, or change licence type.

📄

Difficult Situations

A conflict within your firm. An unexpected performance process. A regulatory concern you cannot raise internally. Guidance drawn from peer experience and regulatory context, not generic employment advice.

📈

Performance and Development

Support for managing your performance, your objectives, and your professional development within a regulated firm or fintech. What good looks like for your function, how to document it, and how to position yourself for what comes next.

🎓

L&D and CPD

Continuing professional development matched to your regulatory obligations and the direction you are heading. Tracked in your record, surfaced when it is relevant, not when a renewal deadline arrives.

🏢

Board and Senior Leadership Path

Guidance for professionals considering a first NED appointment, a step up to executive leadership, or a move onto a regulated fund board. What the regulatory requirements are, what the time commitment involves, and what peer experience says about the reality.
