In this episode of the COMPLY Podcast, we’re joined by Harsha Raghunath, Director of Compliance at Mercury, for a conversation on what it looks like when compliance is built into a company from day zero. Harsha shares how Mercury’s foundation of compliance shapes everything from product development to cross-functional decision-making, and how his team keeps pace in a fast-moving fintech environment without slowing down innovation.

We also dive into how Mercury leverages technology to streamline compliance, and Harsha offers candid advice for early-career professionals on building credibility, staying current, and navigating common challenges. Plus, we highlight the important work happening through the Coalition for Financial Ecosystem Standards (CFES) to raise the bar across the industry.
