Waymark Tech

What It Does

Waymark Tech is a regulatory-intelligence (RegTech) company. Its platform — branded Wayfinder — uses natural language processing to scan regulatory changes across global data sources, then helps compliance teams identify obligations and conflicts between overlapping financial regulations. The core job is regulatory horizon scanning and obligation tracking for highly regulated industries, particularly financial services.

What We Found

Waymark was founded in London in 2016 by Mark Holmes, who previously worked in financial services at Morgan Stanley, HSBC and Deutsche Bank. The company was covered by Finextra, Traders Magazine and FINalternatives, and partnered with risk-software firm KRM22. In February 2024 it was acquired by Ascent (Ascent Technologies, Chicago), combining coverage across the US, EU and UK. As an acquired regtech, it is now part of a larger compliance platform rather than an independent product.

Who It’s For

Aimed at compliance, legal and risk teams in regulated industries — primarily financial services — that need to monitor and map changing regulatory obligations. Less relevant to general-practice or transactional law firms.

What We Haven’t Verified

• The $797.6K funding figure comes from directory data, not a primary source.
• Current product naming and availability after the 2024 Ascent acquisition.
• Headcount and pricing.
