Partner & Third-Party Compliance Oversight
  • Support compliance oversight programs for fintech partnerships, banking relationships, and third-party service providers.
  • Establish governance, monitoring, and accountability frameworks for external partners.
  • Assess partner compliance risks and ensure appropriate controls are maintained.
