London, United Kingdom – November 25, 2025 – FundApps, a leading provider of compliance monitoring and regulatory reporting solutions for the global financial services industry, and WTax, a specialist in global withholding tax and class action recovery, today announced a new strategic partnership designed to help asset managers and asset owners address the operational challenges inherent in international investing.
The partnership enables both firms to offer their respective clients, and other investment operations leaders, easier access to complementary expertise across regulatory compliance, class actions and withholding tax recovery. Together, the two organisations aim to support investors as they manage increasingly complex cross-border requirements.
Global investors continue to face rising pressure to manage cross-border obligations with greater accuracy. Compliance requirements, class action monitoring, and withholding tax processes often sit in adjacent operational silos, despite being closely linked in practice. This creates inefficiencies, missed entitlements, and heightened regulatory risk - challenges both firms are well positioned to help address through their complementary specialisms.
“Global investors face increasing pressure to manage cross-border obligations with greater precision and speed” said Liam Ilić, Director and Global Head of Partnerships at WTax. “This partnership brings together two specialists who understand different, but closely connected, parts of the investment lifecycle. By aligning our complementary capabilities, we’re helping firms improve efficiency, strengthen oversight, and act with confidence in complex jurisdictions.”
“Regulatory expectations continue to evolve, and firms need partners who can help them stay ahead of change - not just keep up with it” said Christof Bays, Head of Partnerships at FundApps. “This collaboration supports clients by connecting tax and class action recovery with regulatory monitoring, three areas that are becoming more intertwined as markets globalise. Together, we’re helping firms prepare for what’s next.”
The partnership is designed to make it easier for clients of both firms to engage with complementary withholding tax, class action, and compliance expertise as needed across global markets.
