What we offer
The Payment Services Sector has evolved in recent years driven by technological advancements and changing regulation. Designed to foster innovation, create competition and develop a level playing field between traditional and new-age firms, the most recent development has been the implementation of the Payment Services Regulations 2017 (otherwise known as PSD2). PSD2 represents a significant development which will support the continued rise of payment related FinTech companies and provide opportunities for payment firms to create new services and revenue streams.
Protean Risk has a long history of supporting the Fintech, Payment Services, and Technology sectors, having invested heavily over a number of years to gain expert knowledge, engage with industry associations including the Emerging Payments Association and Association of Foreign Exchange and Payment Companies, and develop an understanding of which insurers are most likely to react most positively to companies innovating in this space.
Building on this strong platform, and using knowledge of PSD2, Protean Risk has created a distinctive proposition for Challenger Banks, Authorised Payment Institutions (API), E-Money Institutions (EMI), Small Payment Institutions (SPI), Account Information Service Providers (AISP) and Payment Initiation Service Providers (PISP). The proposition has been created through combining expertise and innovation, as previously demonstrated by the creation of industry leading insurance products specifically designed to meet PSD demands. These activities have helped forge a deserved reputation within the sector for pioneering solutions, delivered through a bespoke, personal service.

What our clients say
Hugo and the team at Protean Risk provided an exceptional level of service from our initial discussions, right through finalising the quotes for multiple insurance products which we sourced through them. The team at Protean Risk were more than happy to jump on calls to provide clarity about the nuances that arise in levels of insurance coverage across multiple products. Having dealt with other providers in the past, we found Protean Risk to be very prompt and thorough in their replies which greatly helped us keep things moving. The Board of Directors were very happy with their services and we would certainly recommend Protean Risk to other customers!
We were recommended to work with Protean by one of our Venture Capital investors. As a fintech business we have very specific requirements, meaning that we require support from advisers with the expertise in our sector. We found Protean Risk to be knowledgeable, organised and supportive throughout the process. We would be happy to recommend their services to others.
We were introduced to Protean by a trusted partner in 2016 and have worked with them ever since.
