London, 15 January 2026: Cosegic is excited to announce the acquisition of FINTRAIL, a leading specialist financial crime consultancy, strengthening the Group’s financial crime and regulatory risk capabilities. By continuing to invest in specialist expertise, Cosegic enables clients to move beyond regulatory burden and build stronger, more resilient organisations in increasingly complex regulatory environments.

Together, Cosegic combines specialist expertise, cutting-edge technology and proactive advice across multiple jurisdictions, helping firms strengthen culture, safeguard stakeholders and enhance operational resilience.

MARTIN SMITH, CHAIRMAN OF COSEGIC.
“FINTRAIL has an exceptional specialist team, and bringing them into Cosegic strengthens an already strong financial crime capability. This move makes sense for our clients, gives us an additional edge, and reinforces our commitment to investing in specialist expertise as regulatory expectations continue to rise. This acquisition of FINTRAIL is an exciting step for Cosegic.”

ROBERT EVANS, CEO – CO-FOUNDER OF FINTRAIL.

Getting to know Rob and team has been a privilege, and we can’t wait to get started”

HENRY ALTY, INVESTMENT DIRECTOR AT MML.

MML is pleased to be working with the Cosegic Management Team to support a national and international buy-and-build strategy, focused on developing a suite of specialist financial services compliance capabilities in key global markets.”
