## Market Standing

- **Scale and track record** with over 40,000 placements across 450+ companies.
- **Post-acquisition stability and resources** from Morgan Stanley, combining fintech agility with institutional backing.
- **Regulatory compliance** and established trust in a highly regulated market.
