Key Challenges We Address
Making DORA resilience a practical operating discipline
- Since 17 January 2025, DORA has required financial entities to demonstrate ICT risk controls, incident reporting and third-party oversight.
- YCP converts DORA requirements into pragmatic control roadmaps, testing routines and vendor-governance models that support both resilience and growth.
Keeping pace with instant-payment obligations
- Euro-area providers had to receive instant euro transfers from January 2025, with sending and payee-verification duties following in October.
- YCP helps teams redesign payment operations, technology priorities and customer journeys to meet faster-payment rules without disrupting service.
Turning MiCA and AML demands into scalable controls
- MiCA has applied in full since 30 December 2024, increasing licensing, governance and conduct expectations for crypto-asset service providers.
- YCP aligns compliance, risk and commercial teams around scalable target operating models, helping firms prepare for licensing and ongoing oversight.
Using AI without weakening data trust and governance
- EU AI Act requirements began phasing in during February 2025, while GDPR continues to set high standards for personal-data use and security.
- YCP connects AI strategy with data governance, risk assessment and implementation priorities, enabling responsible use cases with measurable value.

Fintech in SEA: Unlocking Opportunities in Southeast Asia's Financial Landscape
Southeast Asia’s fintech sector is expanding rapidly due to digital adoption and large underbanked populations. Digital payments lead the market, while digital lending is emerging as the fastest-growing revenue segment. Long-term growth will depend on enabling regulation, strong infrastructure, and collaboration to deepen financial inclusion.
The Declining Profitability Trend in Cambodia's Banks: The Impact of Rising Costs and NPLs
Cambodia’s banking sector is facing declining profitability amid higher funding costs, slower loan growth, and rising NPLs. While macro pressures persist, banks can stabilize performance through tighter cost control, improved credit risk management, and disciplined growth, particularly in personal lending portfolios.
Strategic Growth through Programmatic M&A of Small to Medium-Sized Companies in Southeast Asia
In Southeast Asia’s complex markets, programmatic M&A offers a flexible alternative to slow organic expansion and high-risk large deals. By pursuing smaller, repeat acquisitions, companies can enter markets faster, build local capabilities, and manage risk, provided strong sourcing, diligence, and integration discipline are in place.
Supply Chain Finance in Southeast Asia
As Southeast Asia’s supply chains evolve under China+1 strategies, working capital constraints are intensifying. Supply chain finance offers a way to unlock liquidity, support suppliers, and strengthen resilience through buyer-led programs and digital platforms. Regulatory alignment and greater SME awareness can further drive adoption.
