Paris, France, March, 11th 2008 - FircoSoft, the leading provider of WatchList filtering solutions with offices in Paris and in New York, today announced the opening of a new office in London. As a member of the SWORD Group, FircoSoft UK is located in the same premises as SWORD, at St Katharine’s Docks, just a step from the city's financial district.

France Pioger, FircoSoft’s Services Division Director will head FircoSoft UK and manage the team onsite. Two consultants and one developer from the Paris office are moving to London and new on-site recruitments will take place shortly.

“London is one of the most important banking centres in the world and Europe’s main business centre. In this context, and with banks undergoing greater pressure with anti-terrorist financing and anti-money laundering regulations, the opening of the London office is a logical step for us”, Jean Losco, FircoSoft Executive Director, reports. “It will enable us to be in closer proximity to our London-based and UK customers”.
