Why travel companies choose ITC Compliance
Simplified access to FCA-regulated activities
Travel companies whose primary business is not financial services can operate regulated insurance or finance activity through ITC as their Principal Firm. This provides a fast, low-cost, low-risk route to compliance, removing the burden of direct FCA authorisation and allowing travel firms to offer regulated products with confidence and far less operational complexity.
Fast and cost-effective onboarding
ITC offers travel companies a streamlined onboarding process that avoids the delays and expense associated with direct FCA authorisation. Firms can begin operating more quickly without the need for specialist compliance staff, costly Professional Indemnity Insurance, or additional senior management requirements, creating a smoother and more efficient path into regulated activity.
Reduced regulatory risk
Travel firms benefit from ITC’s comprehensive governance framework, which provides a complete set of policies, monitoring processes, and oversight systems designed to maintain consistent regulatory standards. Supported by structured training, ongoing professional development, and proactive FCA horizon scanning, travel companies can manage their regulated activities with reduced risk and strengthened long-term compliance.
