Adclear, a London-based regulatory technology startup focused on automating marketing compliance for fintech companies, has secured £510,000 in pre-seed funding from Haatch, Force Over Mass and Founders Capital. The company’s AI-powered platform helps financial services firms navigate UK Financial Conduct Authority regulations.
The funding comes as financial services companies face increased regulatory scrutiny, particularly following the FCA’s 2023 Consumer Duty regulations and stricter controls on high-risk investments. Adclear’s platform provides real-time compliance evaluations and feedback, helping companies reduce marketing compliance review times from days to hours.
“Our experience in financial services and regulated marketing means we understand this problem first-hand,” said Adclear co-founder Joe Jordan. “Our focus is delivering a product that enables teams to spend more of their time on the most important parts of their business.”
