Banking & Financial Services Translation Services
- ISO 17100
- ITI
- CIOL
- UKVI Accepted
Banking and financial services operate in a language of precision. A loan agreement, mortgage disclosure, or wealth management report carries financial and legal obligations that must be rendered exactly in translation.
Translation AZ provides certified translation from our London office for commercial banks, investment banks, building societies, wealth management firms, and fintech companies. Our translators understand FCA, PRA, and Bank of England requirements.

Credit agreements and applications

Why Financial Translation Requires Specialist Expertise
Financial documents use terminology with precise, industry-defined meanings. "Principal," "accrued interest," "amortization," and "compounding" each describe specific mechanisms requiring exact equivalents — not approximations.
Our financial translators work exclusively with banking and financial services documents.

FCA
Conduct regulation, consumer protection, financial promotions, COBS
PRA
Prudential regulation of banks and building societies

Audit & Financial Reporting Translation Services
- ISO 17100
- ITI
- CIOL
- UKVI Accepted
When a US company consolidates results from international subsidiaries, when an auditor reviews foreign-language source documents, or when a cross-border acquisition requires translated financial records — the translation must preserve accounting precision.

Documents We Translate
Audited financial statements
Balance sheets, income statements, cash flows, equity changes, and notes
Auditor's reports and opinions

UK GAAP, IFRS, and International Terminology
UK companies report under IFRS (listed) or FRS 102 (private). "Revenue" (IFRS 15) vs. "Turnover" (FRS 102). "Statement of financial position" vs. "Balance sheet." "Right-of-use assets" under IFRS 16 have no equivalent in many local GAAPs.
Our translators apply correct framework terminology with translator notes where concepts don't translate directly.
How It Works
