In our last article we introduced Alex Onta and Roman Onta, the executive duo running Singuard's three divisions — because we believe the right people are as much a part of the product as the code. This article continues that series with the two teams that shape a client's experience more than any feature list ever will: support and compliance.
One team exists to get your firm live fast and keep it running smoothly. The other exists to make sure everyone on this platform deserves to be here. Here is what each of them actually does, day to day.
The Support Team: From Signed-up to Live, and Every Day After
Singuard's promise — a prop firm live in 24 hours, a broker in 24 — is kept by people, not slogans. The support team owns that clock. From the moment your account is approved, they are the ones configuring your CRM, connecting the platform, wiring payments and KYC, loading your branding and walking you through your first challenge or client group.
And launch is only the beginning. Operators run their firms every day, and questions don't keep office hours: a challenge rule that needs adjusting, a payout flow to double-check, a bridge to a new platform, a staff member who needs a walkthrough. The support team is the standing answer to all of it.
"The 24-hour launch isn't a marketing number — it's a discipline our support team rehearses every week. Speed is what trust looks like at the start of a relationship."
— Alex Onta, Executive Director, eTrader & Prop Firm CRM
The Jobs Inside the Support Team
- Onboarding specialists — they run the 24-hour and 24-hour launches: branding, challenge and group configuration, payment and KYC wiring, policy pages and the final pre-launch checklist. Their job ends when your first client can sign up and trade.
- Technical support engineers — the deep end of the desk. Bridges to MT4, MT5, cTrader and the other platforms, data-feed questions, API integrations and anything that needs engineering eyes get handled here, with a direct line to the product teams.
- Account managers — every firm has a person, not a ticket queue. Account managers know your setup, check in on your growth, carry your feature requests into the divisions and make sure nothing you've asked for gets lost.
- Migration specialists — for firms arriving from legacy stacks, they map the old system to the new one — accounts, history, affiliates, client data — so switching to Singuard never means starting over (see our CRM migration guide).
The support team also feeds the products themselves. The support desk built into the Prop Firm CRM — and the ops tooling in the Broker CRM — are shaped directly by what our own team learns answering operators every day. We build the tools we wish every support desk had, because ours uses them too.
The Compliance Team: The Gate Every Operator Passes Through
Singuard is deliberately picky about who runs on its software. Every operator — every broker, every prop firm, every business client — passes through the compliance team before anything goes live. That vetting is not a formality; it is one of the reasons serious firms choose the platform: the operators around you have been checked as carefully as you were.
The team's work rests on worldwide AML expertise — the same discipline our leadership built careers on — applied to a simple mandate: verify everyone, assume nothing.
"We vet every operator as if our own name were on their licence — because in practice, our reputation is."
— Roman Onta, Executive Director, Broker CRM & UI/UX
The Jobs Inside the Compliance Team
- Onboarding analysts — they run KYB on every applicant company and KYC on its signatories and ultimate beneficial owners: corporate documents, ownership structure, identity verification. Our KYB verification guide describes the process from the applicant's side.
- Licensing reviewers — brokers must hold a valid licence, and prop firms must present a legal opinion supporting their model. This desk checks both, jurisdiction by jurisdiction, before any approval is granted.
- AML and screening specialists — sanctions lists, PEP screening and adverse-media checks at onboarding, plus ongoing monitoring of the relationship afterwards. Approval is not a one-time event; it is a status that has to stay earned.
- Product compliance — the people who keep the compliance machinery inside the products sharp: the KYC provider integrations, the audit logs, the verification flows and the certificate verification pages that firms rely on for their own programmes (see compliance audit trails).
The boundary, clearly: Singuard is software only. Your firm keeps its own licensing, its own AML/KYC programme and its own regulatory obligations. Our compliance team decides who may use the platform and equips your team with the tooling to run your own programme well — it does not replace your compliance function, and no serious vendor should claim to.
How the Two Teams Work Together
Support and compliance share one pipeline: a new firm meets compliance first and support second, and the handover between them is measured in hours. Compliance clears the operator; support takes the cleared operator live. After launch the roles continue side by side — support handling the day-to-day, compliance monitoring the relationship — with both teams escalating into the divisions run by Alex Onta and Roman Onta when a client's need should shape the product itself.
That structure is deliberate. Speed without vetting attracts the wrong operators; vetting without speed loses the right ones. Running the two teams as one pipeline is how the platform keeps both promises at once — live in days, and in good company.
Key Takeaways
- The support team owns the 24-hour prop firm and broker launches — onboarding specialists, technical support engineers, account managers and migration specialists, with a named person for every firm.
- The compliance team vets every operator: KYB and KYC on every applicant, licence checks for brokers, legal-opinion review for prop firms, and ongoing AML screening after approval.
- Singuard is software only — our compliance team gates the platform and sharpens its tooling, while every firm keeps its own licensing and its own compliance programme.
- The two teams run as one pipeline — compliance clears the operator, support takes them live — which is how the platform stays both fast and well-kept.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Does the Singuard Support Team Do?
The support team takes every firm from signed-up to live — configuring the CRM, platform, payments and KYC in 24 hours for prop firms and 24 for brokers — and then stays with the firm day to day: answering operator questions, helping configure challenges and groups, assisting migrations and coordinating with engineering when something needs a deeper look.
What Does the Singuard Compliance Team Do?
The compliance team vets every operator before onboarding — KYB on the company, KYC on its signatories, licence checks for brokers and legal-opinion review for prop firms — screens against sanctions lists, monitors relationships on an ongoing basis, and keeps the compliance tooling inside the products sharp. Singuard is software only: each firm keeps its own licensing and regulatory compliance, and our team's job is making sure only serious, verified operators run on the platform.
Does Singuard's Compliance Team Replace My Firm's Own Compliance?
No. Singuard provides software only — your firm remains responsible for its own licensing, AML/KYC programme and regulatory obligations. Our compliance team vets who gets to use the platform and equips your team with the tooling (KYC integrations, audit logs, verification flows) to run your own programme well.
