Under the partnership Mastek will provide specialised digital engineering and service management expertise to scale and modernise processes and deliver user centred digital products and platforms. The appointment reflects emphasis on disciplined execution and sensitivity to compliance and confidentiality. The work will focus on building modern, secure and compliant systems to strengthen consumer protections and improve market resilience.

The Financial Conduct Authority is the United Kingdom's statutory regulator responsible for safeguarding market integrity and protecting consumers and it is pursuing a regulatory modernisation agenda to future proof oversight frameworks. These transformation programmes are described by the UK Government as critical to national financial infrastructure and require partners capable of complex, compliance abiding delivery. Mastek's role is aligned to this agenda and supports the regulator's priorities for resilience and consumer safeguards.

Mastek was selected on the basis of engineering depth, contextual understanding of regulatory environments and a proven track record in delivering complex transformation programmes. The company employs close to 5,000 people across more than 40 countries and serves sectors including public services, healthcare, retail and financial services. The firm emphasises ethical, scalable and domain driven approaches to AI integration and partners with major technology vendors to accelerate transformation.

The engagement is expected to reinforce Mastek's position as a specialist provider to high integrity regulatory bodies in the UK and Europe and to advance its UK growth strategy. The company said disciplined delivery and careful handling of compliance and confidentiality underpin its contribution to programmes of critical national importance. The partnership is expected to support long term capability building.
