TALL Security Print, part of The TALL Group of Companies, the UK leader in the provision of secure printed and electronic payment solutions, has successfully achieved the rigorous Hellios Financial Services Supplier Qualification (FSQS). The Runcorn-based security print specialist achieved the certification which is required by major Banks and Financial Services Organisations when selecting suppliers.

FSQS is designed to improve the standard of suppliers through a common set of policy and risk areas including IT Security, Operational Risks, GDPR and Responsible Business Governance which are reviewed annually and updated to stay ahead of regulatory changes.

As the regulated environment becomes more complex, the rigorous qualification system provides a standardised way to manage requests for compliance and assurance information.
FSQS is currently used by 32 major Banks, Building and Insurance companies including Lloyds Banking Group, Metro Bank, Santander, TSB, Clydesdale Bank and The Bank of England.

Martin Ruda, Managing Director of the TALL Group of Companies, said: “We are extremely proud to have successfully achieved this certification, which reinforces our commitment and demonstrates our ability to consistently provide products and services that meet the compliance and regulatory requirements of our clients.”

“This certification also recognises the hard work our dedicated staff at Runcorn has made during the recent COVID-19 pandemic, operating throughout as a ‘key’ supplier to the financial sector, ensuring a continuous supply to our clients and their customers.”
