Quintessential rebrands following FCA approval

Principal status allows Quint to build a network of Appointed Representatives and Introducer Appointed Representatives whilst providing them with compliance support.  

Companies which use Quint’s Pingtree Technology Platform will be able to continue to trade compliantly without the requirement of being directly authorised by the FCA.

Greg Cox, co-founder and chief executive of Quint Group, said:

“Gaining FCA approval and Principal status is a huge step for the business and for our partners. For affiliates it means that we can provide compliance support and provide IAR status for those using our technology and services, which we know can be complex and costly to navigate. For our financial services partners it provides that reassurance and peace of mind that Quint is providing market-leading technology and is a responsible operator.

“Rebranding to the Quint Group better reflects our businesses, which are built on innovative and cutting-edge financial technology that empowers both business and consumers. Both of these developments will provide a fantastic springboard for the next phase in our development.

“We have ambitious plans over the coming years as we continue to make headway across emerging markets internationally and broaden the group’s technology and product offering. Already this year we have expanded our innovative Pingtree technology into the insurance sector which is growing rapidly.”
