FinTech Scotland Awards C2 Grant to Advance Operational Resilience in Finance

Continuity2 is proud to announce that we are one of five companies selected to receive a grant to support the development and deployment of solutions that strengthen industry resilience, operational capability, and regulatory responsiveness.

C2 and FinTech Scotland

This grant comes from the Financial Regulation Innovation Lab (FRIL), an industry-led collaborative research and innovation programme at FinTech Scotland.

FinTech Scotland’s objectives are to develop an innovative community of FinTech companies, leading to the wider development of impactful collaborations between firms of all sizes, across both the UK and on a global scale.

We took part in FRIL’s latest Innovation Call, where innovators like the C2 team come together to further develop, refine, and adapt their solutions to meet real industry needs. In this Innovation Call, we had the chance to work alongside industry leaders from, among others:

- Sword Group

- NatWest

- Morgan Stanley

- Dudley Building Society

- Tipton & Coseley Building Society

- Unity Trust Bank

- M&G

- Pinsent Masons

- Tesco Bank

- KPMG

- EY

We will be working closely with several of these partners in more depth as we continue to adapt our product to better meet the needs of customers and prepare for future challenges.

Congratulations to our fellow grant winners at Profylr, Ionburst, Haelo, and Lupovis; together we will hopefully drive some fantastic innovation in our sectors.

What C2 can offer the financial industry

With our flagship product, Meridian BCMS, being built for strengthening operational resilience, we knew that we had to get involved with this Innovation Call. Our software is designed to offer the financial and banking sector one unified platform. From planning and recording BC strategies to ensuring lines of communication stay in place during times of crisis, Meridian ensures that financial institutions have one place to record all of this crucial information.

We keep up with the latest developments in the financial and banking industry to ensure that Meridian is regulatory-ready, no matter how the landscape shifts and changes. From the FCA/PRA framework to ISO 22301, financial governance varies from region to region.

Good operational resilience forms the backbone of firms, ensuring that the financial system can absorb and adapt to shocks rather than contribute to or exacerbate them. Meridian allows firms to prioritise regulatory compliance, a crucial factor in long-term success, trust, and business viability.

As repeated and growing incidents in supply chains worldwide dictate the need for robust management and resilience from financial institutions, we are ready to push forward and meet these challenges head-on. Our future product development is built around these challenges. With our FinTech grant and close collaboration with our new partners, we aim to further improve Meridian so it will always be the right choice for financial and banking firms.
