Projective Group, the international financial services consulting firm, has today announced its acquisition of the payments, risk management & compliance experts, Enigma Consulting. With this acquisition, the group increases its annual turnover to €80 million and expands its team to more than 500 employees across Europe.
Enigma Consulting will operate under its own name, in close co-operation with Projective Group’s other brands. Enigma continues to work closely with its clients, supporting the corporate and financial services sectors with a variety of services including design, selection and implementation of payment solutions and processes, digital transactions, risk management and compliance services.
The combined forces of Projective Group and Enigma will provide improved and additional services to clients, building further on their existing expertise. The latest in a series of high-profile acquisitions, this new move by Projective Group signals further progress towards achieving the group’s plans for European expansion. The group’s ambition is to achieve €100 million annual turnover by the end of 2023.
