The initiative of Typejust is rooted in Eli5’s collaboration with ING, where a deep and effective collaboration was started between our team and the product team of the global bank. After leading ING Sparq from napkin sketch to a product used by the global bank in more than 35 countries, the urge to solve regulatory compliance at a larger scale was born among the participants. This partnership, built on a shared vision for innovation in regulatory compliance, leveraged our vast amount of combined product and regulatory expertise to solve regulatory change management on a larger scale. Recognizing the universal hurdles faced by banks and financial service companies in regulatory change management, the collaboration sought to expand the impact beyond a single organization. Typejust was born out of this ambition and with a far reaching aim: to help banks and financial service companies of all sizes deal with the constant growing regulatory pressure. This venture resembles a commitment to transforming regulatory compliance from a burdensome task to a streamlined, efficient process, empowering organizations to navigate the complexities of regulation with unprecedented ease and confidence.
