The company's new centre will work directly with the group's clients: investment banks spread across several geographies.

FinTrU, a technologically-enabled Regulatory Solutions company, will open a client delivery centre in Porto, estimating the creation of 500 new jobs in the first five years.

The company’s new centre will be ready by the end of the year and led by Telmo Fernandes, who has already headed the human resources sector in Portugal for multinationals such as Proef, the French Natixis, the African platform Jumia or the London-based SaltPay.

Focused on KYC (Know Your Customer), Compliance, Legal, Risk & Control and Operations, this new centre will work directly with the group’s clients: investment banks spread across several geographies. It was classified by the Employment and Professional Training Institute (IEFP) as a project of national strategic interest.

“I am excited to be part of this challenge. The company’s culture in investing in the development of its people and our Tier 1 clients were key factors for me to join FinTrU and be part of this exciting project. We will invest in developing an ecosystem in Porto, developing academies to support our expansion,” said Telmo Fernandes, Site Lead at FinTrU Porto.

In a statement, FinTrU also announced will open a set of vacancies for recent graduates with its Financial Services Academy, with applications already open.

Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Belfast, Northern Ireland, FinTrU creates technology-enabled solutions for Investment Banks from all over the world.
