Founder, RenIQ

Peter Leško is the founder of RenIQ. Peter Leško has banking experience across Slovakia, Ukraine, the Czech Republic and the Netherlands.

RenIQ was founded on a simple observation: too many international firms treat EU authorisation as a form-filling exercise, then stall when supervisors ask the hard questions about substance, governance and resilience.

The firm stays deliberately boutique so that every engagement gets genuine senior attention.

RenIQ provides regulatory strategy and programme management. When formal legal advice or reserved legal work is required, appropriately qualified legal counsel must be engaged.

How we work

Principles that shape every engagement

Senior by default

You work with experienced practitioners, not a rotating bench of juniors. The person who scopes your route stays accountable through authorisation.

Route before paperwork

We start from your commercial model and choose the defensible regulatory route, then build the evidence. Not the other way around.

Evidence that survives scrutiny

Applications fail on thin substance and weak evidence. We build files that anticipate supervisory questions before they are asked.

Honest about trade-offs

Faster is not always better. We are explicit about the cost, substance and timeline implications of every route so you can decide well.

    File with the competent authority and manage the supervisory question-and-answer process.
