YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Proving operational resilience under tougher scrutiny
- Since 31 March 2025, UK financial firms must show they can stay within impact tolerances during severe disruption, exposing mapping and testing gaps.
- Through critical-service mapping, scenario testing and remediation roadmaps, YCP helps teams embed resilience into day-to-day operating models.
Demonstrating fair value across every customer journey
- Consumer Duty now covers open and closed products, increasing scrutiny of fair value, customer outcomes and evidence across legacy portfolios.
- By connecting customer insight, product reviews and governance, YCP helps firms identify outcome gaps and strengthen demonstrable value.
Containing fraud while preserving seamless customer access
- UK fraud losses reached £1.17 billion in 2024, while faster payments and more sophisticated scams raise pressure on controls and customer journeys.
- Balancing protection with convenience, YCP helps firms redesign fraud strategies, optimise controls and improve response across key journeys.
Scaling AI without compromising data and accountability
- About 75% of UK financial-services firms already use AI, yet fragmented data, model risk and unclear accountability can constrain wider adoption.
- From use-case prioritisation to governance and implementation, YCP helps organisations scale AI responsibly while capturing 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.
