ClauseMatch Goes Global: Singapore Becomes Their New HQ
Picture this: a London‑based RegTech startup, known for turning legal jargon into seamless software, decides to move its coffee kettle from London to singapore. Why? Because the city‑state offers a perfect blend of strict rules, tech‑friendly vibes, and a welcoming business culture. That’s ClauseMatch’s bold play to conquer the Asia Pacific market.
Who’s in the Driver’s Seat?
- Evgeny Likhoded – Founder & CEO, who once fought paperwork battles at Morgan Stanley and Gazprom UK, now leads a SaaS solution that automates compliance for banks.
- Arathi Arul – VP of Business Development, steering the APAC launch from the heart of Singapore.
The Game Plan: Centralised Compliance (and a dash of humour)
Likhoded explains: “When banks expand by buying local institutions, they often run into wobbly integrations. With ClauseMatch, you get one clean, central dashboard that lets you spot mismatches across different Asian jurisdictions in a single glance.”
Arthi adds a touch of wit: “If compliance were a kitchen, we’re the one pizza‑slicing pizza‑slice that keeps everyone happy. We make sure every slice is perfectly seasoned, no matter which country we’re in.”
Why Singapore Rocks
- It’s a commercial hub that feels like a cousin to the UK—fairly easy to navigate for a UK‑native startup.
- Regulatory rules are tough, but not messy. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has been pushing for RegTech adoption, offering a smoother path than other markets.
- Less legacy tech means you can plug in ClauseMatch faster—think of it as “plug and play” meets “regulatory wizardry.”
Strategic Partnerships to Fuel the Growth
- ClauseMatch has teamed up with RegPac Revolution, a leading RegTech platform in Singapore, to tap into a deep professional network across APAC.
- Mona Zoet, founder of RegPac, quips: “We’re thrilled to have ClauseMatch in our ecosystem. Their tech could help banks in Asia feel less like they’re stuck in a maze.”
With the launch, ClauseMatch is not just paying a bill in the “first‑floor” office. They are kicking open the doors for banks to bring all their regulatory compliance under one roof—clean, modern, and—orchestrated for the Asia Pacific’s dynamic rules.
Outlook: 2019 Is the New ‘RegTech Boom’ Year
Arthi, optimistic as ever, declares: “The country’s thriving market, combined with MAS’s push for innovation, makes 2019 the time to roll out RegTech in Asia. We’re excited to be part of this journey.”
High‑level message? ClauseMatch is stepping onto the Asian stage with a product that already fits. The company claims they’ll become the go‑to tool for banks looking to keep up with regulatory changes while avoiding the headache of multiple local systems.
That’s the snappy, human‑touch rewrite of the original announcement: ClauseMatch is heading to Asia, and Singapore is the launchpad for an adventure that promises to mix compliance, technology, and a sprinkle of humour.
