Since day one at Trans World Compliance, our software has been developed hand in hand with our clients. That principle hasn’t changed—and it won’t.
Most license-based solutions operate on autopilot. They launch a feature, A/B test it and wait for metrics to guide them. It sounds efficient, but that process lacks one key ingredient: honest conversations. That’s where we’re different.
Our support team trains, guides, and listens. Especially during reporting season, they’re in the trenches with users, helping them navigate real-world challenges. And that’s where we get the best feedback—not just UX comments, but insights into regulatory grey zones and compliance dilemmas. These hands-on moments are gold.
We also know that regulators don’t always communicate clearly or consistently. Oddly enough, some of our first alerts to changes in reporting rules come not from official channels but from the clients themselves. In fact, we joke that the only thing “common” about the Common Reporting Standard is the name. Every institution does things differently. That’s why listening beats assuming.
Don’t walk into a meeting thinking you know how a Tier 1 bank handles compliance—you’d be surprised how many still rely on manual spreadsheets. Preconceptions kill innovation. Questions spark it.
Over time, we’ve built a “library of feedback.” The broader the sources—big banks, small CSPs, tax authorities—the more powerful the connections. Just like David Epstein wrote in Range, generalists thrive by connecting the dots across disciplines. The same applies to compliance tech: the more diverse the feedback, the better the innovation.
So, ask more. Listen first. That’s how you build something that works.
Cyber Risk and Compliance Pressure
Cybersecurity in the financial sector isn’t just a technology issue—it’s a compliance issue, a data governance issue, and in some cases, a national security issue. With growing attack surfaces, increasingly sophisticated threats, and a flood of new regulations like CARF and DPI, financial institutions face an uphill battle to stay protected and compliant.
In this episode, Dave Olenzak, President and Founder of Trans World Compliance, helps us connect the dots between today’s top cyber risks, the complexity of modern financial ecosystems, and what compliance teams can do to strengthen their defenses.
