SLVN Group · Financial Services Advisory
A specialist advisory firm bringing Big-4 consulting depth to the challenges that define modern financial institutions — data strategy, financial crime, and AI-enabled transformation.
SLVN Group is an independent specialist advisory firm founded to serve a selective base of enterprise clients in financial services, logistics, and media. We operate without the overhead and generalism of large firms — bringing instead a concentrated team of senior practitioners with deep, hands-on experience in the issues that matter most to financial institutions.
Our team has built, led, and shipped in environments where the stakes are real: sanctions platforms running at live banks, fraud systems underpinning active investigations, analytics infrastructure powering millions of customers.
Team background includes
Our practice is built around the intersection of financial services domain knowledge, data engineering, and applied AI. We work across the full spectrum — from strategy and architecture to hands-on delivery.
Enterprise-wide data strategy, platform architecture, and AI transformation roadmaps. We work with CTOs and CIOs to define the right direction — and with delivery teams to execute it.
AML, AFC, and sanctions screening systems built to regulatory standard and deployed in production at major financial institutions across the US and Europe. Compliance advisory included.
From GenAI strategy to production ML systems — custom dataset curation, model development, and live deployment. We have built and shipped AI products end-to-end, including in regulated environments.
Customer analytics platforms, behavioural intelligence systems, and BI infrastructure for financial institutions. Architected for scale and multi-institution reuse.
Advisory on regulatory frameworks specific to banking and insurance — from data lineage requirements under BCBS 239 to GDPR-aligned data architecture for multi-jurisdictional environments.
End-to-end platform delivery for regulated industries — KYC flows, document e-signing, cloud-native infrastructure, and enterprise integrations. Compliance-first design throughout.
We do not publish client lists. The engagements below are illustrative of the scale and nature of our work, shared with permission or as publicly available information.

Delivered compliance-adjacent features including KYC flows, document e-signing, and behavioural monitoring across multi-jurisdictional data privacy requirements.
Designed and delivered a production-grade sanctions screening platform for a major US financial institution. The system was built to regulatory standard and remains in live operation at SVB and several other US financial institutions.
Architected a data analytics platform for a major US bank, enabling customer intelligence and behavioural analytics at scale. The platform was subsequently adopted across several financial institutions and remains in active use.
Built a cyber intelligence platform including data crawlers and unstructured data analysis tools across 200+ sources. Piloted in Kazakhstan and subsequently adopted as a commercial portfolio service across the CIS region by PwC.
SLVN Group operates with a lean core of senior advisors, extended through a curated network of domain specialists for larger engagements. Every client relationship is managed by someone with direct delivery experience — not a relationship manager.
Our core advisory team comprises practitioners with 15–25+ years of hands-on experience in financial services, data engineering, and consulting. No junior hand-off.
For complex or large-scale programmes, we extend through a vetted network of domain specialists — regulatory experts, ML engineers, cloud architects — deployed under SLVN governance.
Regardless of engagement size, a senior SLVN principal owns delivery accountability. Clients always have a direct line to the person responsible for the outcome.
We work with a selective group of clients — typically senior stakeholders in banking, insurance, and financial infrastructure. If you are evaluating a data, AI, or financial crime programme, we are happy to begin with an informal conversation.
