UK-based fintech Paysend has implemented a solution from CalQRisk in order to augment and automate their approach to enterprise risk management. Paysend intends to utilise the CalQRisk solution to mobilise their risk frameworks globally.

CalQRisk is a Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC) solution used by organisations to streamline their risk management and compliance processes. Officials from Paysend said they’re really looking forward to rolling out the CalQRisk solution. They could immediately see the benefits in the solution – it will help them streamline their existing approach to risk management and ultimately save them time.

Also commenting on this partnership, representatives from CalQRisk said they’re happy to be working with a company like Paysend. The number of fintech organisations using CalQRisk continues to grow as firms look for ways to streamline typically manual processes while keeping up with regulatory obligations.
