Our history.

Founded in 2010

Where it all began…

NorthRow (formerly Contego) was founded by Adrian Black to enable organisations to combat fraud and financial crime. NorthRow wasn’t just a business opportunity for Adrian, but a chance to make more of a difference to the catastrophic effects that fraud and other forms of financial crime can have on individuals and companies.

MILESTONE

First major account win​

We partnered with Regus Plc as a result of working with law enforcement and being a preferred supplier to the Business Centre Association. Delivering a range of regulatory services to Regus started our evolution into a RegTech business.​

Further improving our data security

NorthRow achieved the Cyber Essential Plus certification, a government-backed, industry-supported scheme to help organisations protect themselves against the increasing threat of cyber-attacks.

One of the UK’s leading private equity houses, Maven, led a £3.5 million Series A investment in NorthRow, to support the continued growth, expanding product development, adding commercial resources, and entering new markets.
