Words from our founder

I decided to leave my position as a partner at EY and establish ume because I was dissatisfied with the lack of transparency and exclusivity prevalent in the investment industry, a sentiment shared by many others.

At ume, we have developed the largest smart ecosystem of due diligence platforms for fund distribution, and we are grateful for the strong and dedicated user base that supports us. We have successfully eliminated the burdensome aspects of the due diligence process by facilitating connections between hundreds of companies every day, enabling them to conduct business with one another.

Testimonials

Hear from our clients

ume simplifies distributor due diligence

ume has allowed us to digitalise our distributor due diligence process and reach a network coverage beyond our initial targets. Also, during the regulator’s inspections, we presented our process and underlined it with a ume walkthrough that we used to address their questions.
Topics covered included the risk-based assessment, the integration of country risk and negative media, the follow-up and additional question features, the frequency of updates and the collection of documentation.

They were positively impressed by the:

results attained with ume whether from a coverage perspective,
beneficial equilibrium allowed between automation and integration of expert judgment,
quality of the audit trail.

Large US investment fund manager

By selecting a secure, easy-to-use platform we are able to significantly reduce the workload for all involved. ume has established a market leading position with our largest financial intermediary distributors and we are delighted to be working with them.
