Led by Lex Fenwick, Arun Banerjee, and Brad Breslin, Vantage GRC Solutions LLC (“Vantage”) was formed following their acquisition of a majority share of GRC Solutions, LLC (“GRC Solutions”). The transaction closed in October 2019 and the new firm will market under the Vantage GRC Solutions brand name. Originally founded in 2012, GRC Solutions’ legacy of helping financial institutions manage their compliance risks makes it a strong platform for growth in several key areas including financial crimes remediation, anti-money laundering (“AML”) technology integrations, model validations and compliance testing.
“Over the last decade, compliance costs and complexity have grown exponentially. As we continue to expand Vantage, our clients will be supported through the next phase of regulatory change as they strive to protect their people, customers and company by staying one step ahead of those looking to do harm within today’s global financial systems,” said Lex Fenwick, Chairman.
With an established team of subject matter experts, Vantage brings its practical expertise to its foreign and domestic clients helping them remediate, design and effectively deploy solutions to meet the specific regulatory requirements set forth by the Federal Reserve, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, New York State Department of Financial Services and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
“We are excited by this transaction and we will continue to deepen our expertise in AML, Bank Secrecy Act and sanctions by attracting the best talent from the industry. Our goal at Vantage is to always bring the best solutions to our clients by focusing on delivering proven advisors and cost-effective technology-enabled solutions that our clients value as they face increasingly complex regulatory challenges,” said Arun Banerjee, Chief Executive Officer.
“Vantage was launched, and is uniquely positioned, to serve as the next-generation compliance risk management platform for the market,” noted Brad Breslin, Chief Operating Officer. “Clients want holistic solutions and Vantage is singularly focused on building to deliver the best integrated advisory, managed services, and technology solutions.”
