The practice.
Regetus is the regulatory practice of Pi Zeta Ltd, which has advised regulated firms since 2016.
Peter Zachariades
Peter Zachariades has held the SMF16 compliance oversight and SMF17 money laundering reporting officer functions, sits as a non-executive director of an FCA-authorised electronic money institution, and worked a CySEC authorisation from the inside before advising on them. Before that came roughly twenty years in brokerage, payments and online gaming.
Most regulatory consultants have read the handbook. Fewer have been the person the regulator holds responsible. That matters most where an application is judged rather than processed: a change in control, a business model the regulator has not seen before, a firm whose last application was refused.
How we work
Senior from the first conversation
The person who scopes the work is the person responsible for it.
In writing
The scope, the fee and the working plan are agreed before anything starts.
Candidly
If the work is not ours, or the application should not be made, we say so at the start rather than halfway through.
In confidence
We do not name clients — on this site or anywhere else — without their written agreement.
What we are not
Pi Zeta Ltd is not authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority or by any other regulator. We advise firms on obtaining and maintaining their own authorisation. We do not carry on regulated activities, we do not hold client money, and we do not give investment advice. The decision on any application belongs to the regulator, and so does its timetable.
