Launch regulated products 10X faster by automating compliance with AI

Cardamon is an AI powered platform that ingests relevant regulation, understands what applies to each regulated financial firm, and gets compliance officers from regulation, to obligations, to product requirements in minutes - not weeks. Financial firms face a host of complex regulations that make it incredibly painful to launch and maintain products in a compliant way. As a Product team at Revolut, we felt this pain deeply ourselves - we had products ready to launch but stuck in compliance limbo, often for weeks. Turns out, getting compliant took as long as building the product itself. Frustrated, we dug in and were shocked by how manual and inefficient the processes were. That’s when it clicked: there’s a huge opportunity to automate the boring stuff (and solve our own problem!). Compliance teams win because they ditch the tedious tasks. Product teams win because they ship faster. Everyone’s happy.

TL;DR

Cardamon enables regulated financial firms to launch products, enter new markets and stay compliant 10X faster by automating regulatory mapping with AI. We cut the manual and repetitive tasks of sifting through 1000s of pages of regulation and analysing each passage - saving 100s of hours for regulated businesses. Check it out here.

Ask: If you’re spending time & money trying to figure out what regulations apply, send us a message at hello@cardamon.ai - we are already helping several firms cut 100s of hours from regulatory mapping work, enabling them to launch products faster

The Problem ❌

Financial firms face a host of complex regulations that make it incredibly painful to launch and maintain products in a compliant way. As a Product team at Revolut, we felt this pain deeply ourselves - we had products ready to launch but were stuck in compliance limbo, often for weeks. Turns out, getting compliant took as long as building the product itself.

Frustrated, we dug in and were shocked by how manual and inefficient the processes were. Compliance teams would have to sift through 1000s of pages of different regulations, which they would need to understand, review and transpose into product requirements, controls & policies. These processes today are almost entirely manual, taking up hundreds of hours a year per compliance employee.

Our Solution ✅

Cardamon is an AI powered platform that ingests relevant regulation, understands what applies to each regulated financial firm, and gets compliance officers from regulation, to obligations, to product requirements in minutes - not weeks.

Compliance officers can select any regulation they want to map to their firm. Cardamon goes through every line and evaluates:

  • What is applicable
  • What is an obligation
  • What the impact is
  • What the associated risks types are

Additionally, there is the option to generate controls for the obligations and query the underlying regulations with specific questions.

Importantly, compliance officers remain in full control with a host of features enabling them to edit, save and even download the mapping as a CSV.
