DKK Partners, a leading fintech company, which specialises in emerging markets (EM) foreign exchange (FX) liquidity, has appointed Bovill, the financial services regulatory consultancy, as its global compliance partner.

Bovill will work with DKK to ensure all processes and operations meet all the appropriate compliance requirements. In addition, Bovill will provide advice and recommendations around regulatory matters, both in the UK and on a global scale.

The news comes following a record year for DKK, with revenues surpassing £63m - up from £3m the previous year. Demand for DKK’s suite of services is rising, with customers seeking FX risk management, access to deep liquidity pools, and local collections. In response to growing demand, DKK plans to open four new offices overseas in the Middle East and across Pan Africa in addition to the company’s headquarters in Mayfair, London.

DKK, founded by capital markets specialist Khalid Talukder, previously of UBS, Citi & Deutsche Bank, and Dominic Duru of RBS and Citi, enables businesses to manage currency risk in frontier markets.
