About Us

Founded in 2008, Ascella Compliance is a regulatory compliance consultancy, fostering market growth, stability and financial sector development by providing superior compliance services to financial institutions and non-traditional financial service providers, in particular those with a focus on financial innovation. We pride ourselves in achieving success on cannot-fail assignments; meeting deadlines; offering practical solutions; being approachable and highly responsive; staying ahead of the curve on regulatory changes; and professionally representing our clients. We provide our services – with a level of first-hand practitioner knowledge uncommon in the industry – from our headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Ascella Compliance is a department of MFIC, whose mission is to enable clients to offer competitive and innovative financial services. Our big-picture philosophy of promoting financial service innovation and strong regulatory compliance has led the company to receive significant backing from domestic and international organizations, including shareholdings by KDDI Corporation, a major Japanese telecommunications company, and the Netherlands Development Finance Company.

Our founders believe that financial professionals have special obligations to support community development and this belief is at the heart of the firm’s culture. Our diverse team of highly-qualified practitioners has come together to foster long-term, sustainable social development and international security by helping financial institutions of all denominations catalyze their regulatory compliance function for growth and sustainability.
