Financial Services & Fintech
Dilogic is the Strategic Principal for banks, fintechs, and regulated growth. Senior partner with deep ADGM and DIFC operating fluency. Specialist regulatory advisors from our network for the rest of the corridor.
The CAC problem
Most fintech CMOs treat rising CAC as a paid-channel problem and respond with creative tests, lookalike audiences, and budget reallocation. The structural answer lives upstream — in product onboarding friction, segmentation discipline, regulator-driven copy constraints, and the choreography between marketing and underwriting.
Cross-border fintech engagements layer regulator timing on top of growth math. UK FCA, ADGM, DIFC, SAMA, and EU regulators each move at different paces. Treating regulator pathway as a downstream filter — instead of as a first-class strategic input — is what makes most cross-border launches slip a quarter.
Dilogic holds the regulator pathway at the strategy table from sentence one. The strategy is regulator-aware before it is shipped, not after.
Three commitments — sector-aware
01
We do not deliver a strategy and leave. We hold the operating thesis across the engagement. The map you have at the end is the map we wrote together — updated by the work, not by a refresh deck.
02
Agencies, vendors, internal teams, contractors. Whoever is in the room executing, we direct against the strategy. That includes naming the work, sequencing it, holding it accountable, and replacing what is not working. Direction is not a workshop. It is daily.
03
Engagements are scoped to outcomes, not deliverables. We stay in the room until the outcome lands. If it does not, we say why. Reporting is what happened against what we said would happen — not what is convenient to present.

FAQ
We do not. We bring partner-level operating fluency where we have it (ADGM and DIFC, where a senior partner is operating-deep) and bring in specialist regulatory advisors from our network where we don't (SAMA, UK FCA, EU regulators, MAS, and others). Specialists are briefed against the strategy and overseen by us.
We work on crypto-asset firms' commercial questions — GTM, brand, partnerships, MENA market entry, and the regulatory choreography around MiCA passporting and equivalent regimes. We do not work on crypto trading strategy, DeFi protocol architecture, or blockchain protocol design.
Yes. The cross-client pattern is the value. Banks bring scale and regulatory weight; fintechs bring velocity and product-led discipline. A senior partner who has run engagements in both has more useful pattern recognition than one anchored to a single side of the sector.
Engagements in financial services begin with a partner-led conversation. Routed to fintech@dilogicgroup.com.
