KnowYourCountry named one of the fastest-growing companies in the 2026 UK Deloitte Fast 50

We’ve been named one of fastest-growing technology companies in the 2026 Deloitte UK Technology Fast 50. The ranking is based on revenue growth over the last 3 years, and ours grew by 708%.

Now in its 29th year, the Deloitte fast 50 ranks UK technology companies across sectors including fintech, software and healthtech. It’s the first time we’ve made the list.

Why we’ve grown

Regulators now expect firms to show the evidence behind every country risk rating they assign, and to be ready to produce it during an inspection. A rating on its own isn’t enough to satisfy a supervisor.

That’s the problem we set out to solve when we started KnowYourCountry in Jersey in 2006. Today, almost 400 regulated firms in more than 50 countries use our platform to assess, monitor and evidence country-level money laundering risk across 245 countries. Our clients include banks, crypto exchanges, law firms and fund managers. 

Built around your risk-based approach

Firms assess country risk differently, depending on their business model, risk appetite and where they operate. 

Our customisable Scoring Profiles let each client adjust the weighting of every risk indicator, set its own risk bands and add country-specific overrides. Firms with several offices or business lines can run a separate profile for each and profiles update automatically when our data changes.

Dianne Gollop, Director of AML Compliance at BDO, has used the platform for years:

“I have used the KnowYourCountry platform for a number of years and even when I have moved roles or employers, one of the first things I ask for is approval for a subscription. KnowYourCountry is a resource you cannot be without if you need to demonstrate how you have concluded on a country risk rating within your procedures.”

The team behind it

Gary Youinou, our Founder, said: “We started KnowYourCountry 20 years ago because compliance teams were piecing together country risk from scattered sources. Making the Deloitte Fast 50 shows how much that need has grown. I want to thank our team, who did the work behind these numbers. That includes the people who joined us from Deloitte Operate in 2024, who built out our sales team and helped us reach far more firms.”

Harry Boxall, our CEO, added: “We’re happy to be named in the Deloitte fast 50. Our growth comes from compliance teams who rely on our data for decisions they have to defend to a regulator, and we take that trust seriously. We have more new features coming to the platform in 2027, all built around what those teams tell us they need.”
