One company, many backgrounds
Our vision is to develop the workforce of the future by hiring as diverse a team of consultants as possible. Currently, less than 15% of the tech workforce in the UK is from Black Ethnic Minority backgrounds and only 19% of the work force identifies as female.
We’re committed to changing the face of the Banking and Finance sector by promoting diversity of thought, diversity of experience and diversity of background. We believe diversity is a vital ingredient in achieving innovation.

What our Pioneers say
“For me the highlights of this training academy would definitely be the way the theoretical knowledge about the KYC Process was combined with putting the same into practice. Also the last two days of the academy which helped me get an overview of my personality and how to present myself in the best possible way. Last but not the least, I feel very proud to say that I’m working at JP Morgan (on-site) as a KYC consultant. Everything taught to us makes sense now that I’m putting it into practice in the real world.”
- Nischhal Prasad
“The Academy has equipped me with both theoretical and practical knowledge of KYC and AML through different reading materials and case studies. It has also enabled me to put my research and analytical skills to use, realising that previous knowledge of finance is not necessarily a prerequisite for this job. The programme, apart from being an excellent introduction to the AML/KYC sector, has also put emphasis on the development of soft skills which are vital in the modern business world.”
