Celebrating 5 Years of FSQS-NL
Building Confidence, Efficiency, and Collaboration in Third-Party Risk Management
This month, we’re celebrating 5 years of FSQS-NL, our collaborative community that connects financial institutions and suppliers across Northern Europe.
Since launch, we’ve grown our community to include over 17 Buyers and 1,000 Suppliers. The trusted network that simplifies third-party risk management and strengthens confidence across the sector.
Thank you to all our members!

Efficiency is essential
We designed FSQS-NL to make managing supplier information simpler and more efficient. By collecting it from Suppliers once and sharing it with all Buyer members through a single, standardised platform, we remove duplication, save time, and improve data quality for everyone.
“Like everyone in the EU financial sector, DORA was a major challenge – meeting a strict deadline alongside other priorities while daily operations continued. Thanks to FSQS-NL, we were able to collect the majority of supplier data quickly and accurately. On top of this the Hellios Community shared valuable knowledge that helped navigating DORA successfully. Less hassle, more control, and learning from each other. I’m proud to be part of this community.”

Today, our FSQS-NL community connects Buyers to over 1,000 supplier members, creating real efficiencies and a consistent approach to third-party risk management across the financial services industry.
Collaboration is key
In her recent Deal! magazine article, Selvi Ayranci, CPO at ABN AMRO Bank and Chair of the FSQS-NL Governance Group, reflected on how third-party risk management has evolved:
“Risk management is not just a compliance obligation; it has become an integral part of procurement. Effective risk control leads to better procurement. Insight into the entire chain is essential, and this translates into ever-higher demands on suppliers.”
Selvi highlights that automation and collaboration are key:
It’s too labour-intensive if every organisation develops its own questionnaires. You need to work together. That’s why ABN AMRO and other institutions chose Hellios’ FSQS platform, to standardise and share supplier data across the sector.

Her message perfectly reflects what we stand for: a confident, connected community working together to build resilience and transparency at the heart of the supply chain.
Confidence is everything
With a rapidly evolving landscape of risk and regulations, we know how important it is for firms to adapt while maintaining market-leading standards.
Through FSQS-NL, we bring together experts from across the industry to curate relevant questions and tackle emerging challenges. This collaboration ensures our Buyer members get exactly what they need, while suppliers avoid repetitive and time-consuming administration.
Together, we can get to the answers quicker with FSQS-NL.
Here’s to the next 5 years - continuing to build a community where confidence is everything.
