ABOUT UPPENBERG ASSOCIATES

Jamie Uppenberg started Uppenberg Associates to guide FinTechs build effective and functional compliance programs, at the pace of their business.

When you work with Uppenberg Associates, you’re working with someone who’s been through it before, knows what to expect, and can deliver.

Our Story

Uppenberg Associates was founded to guide and assist FinTechs as they navigate the compliance environment.

Many FinTechs are conducting activities or offering products that, in the eyes of a regulator, are like a bank product. A single product doesn’t warrant becoming a full bank, but you still need to meet regulatory requirements.

Uppenberg Associates draws on Jamie’s experience and expertise to help start-ups and young firms navigate building a compliant compliance program.

Jamie can partner with your current staff or go in-house as an interim CCO to lead your team to audit-ready compliance.

When you work with Uppenberg Associates, you’re working with someone who’s been through it before, knows what to expect, and can deliver.

“Jamie really considered where our company was, what we could actually accomplish, as opposed to just making mandates about what we had to do. It made building structure so much more manageable and affordable.”
