# ARLA CONSULTING LTD
ARLA Consulting is a London-based payments consultancy that specialises in helping financial institutions, fintech companies, and payments professionals navigate complex regulatory and technical challenges in the modern payments landscape.
The firm serves payments departments, compliance teams, and technology leaders across banks, card issuers, and payment service providers who need expertise in evolving payment systems and standards. Their consultants bring hands-on experience from leading global payments companies, regulatory bodies, and technology startups, enabling them to deliver bespoke solutions grounded in real-world implementation knowledge.
ARLA's service portfolio addresses three core payment domains. In payments infrastructure, they assist with IBAN validation, domestic bank account verification, and fraud prevention measures that protect organisations from payment scams and unauthorised transactions. Within card payments, they guide clients through EMV chip card upgrades, including dual interface implementations, security enhancements from SDA to DDA/CDA architectures, and cryptographic key management. For SEPA compliance, they help organisations meet critical deadlines by addressing standards conformity, information systems alignment, procedure revision, and contract compliance across the EU payments framework.
What distinguishes ARLA is their combination of deep technical expertise with strategic business acumen. Rather than providing generic consultancy, they translate complex regulatory requirements into actionable business solutions whilst managing the significant compliance investments necessary for payments modernisation.
