We start with the regulator.
We prefer official sources over summaries: statutes, administrative rules, NMLS checklists, regulator licensing pages, Federal Register releases, and agency guidance.
Methodology
Built from primary sources. Reviewed before it reaches your calendar.
NomisFile turns regulator source material into practical filing reminders, evidence tasks, and change alerts for fintech compliance teams. The goal is simple: when a deadline appears in your workspace, you can see where it came from and why it belongs there.

Primary-source first
We work from regulator pages, statutes, administrative code, final rules, and official filing instructions.
Human-reviewed
Templates are checked before they are used to generate customer calendars.
Visible provenance
Obligations show the citation, source context, and review state where it matters: inside the task.
What this page means
NomisFile is a tracking system, not a black box.
Compliance calendars are only useful when the source trail is clear. We keep the public explanation short because customers do not need an audit dump. They need to know the operating standard behind the reminders they rely on.
We convert source text into operational work.
A citation becomes a deadline, evidence request, owner prompt, renewal step, bond task, or change alert only after it is mapped to a license, regulator, entity type, or business-model condition.
We keep judgment in the loop.
NomisFile helps organize the work. It does not replace counsel, examiner correspondence, or the compliance decisions that belong to your team.
Process
From source to calendar.
Each library entry follows the same practical path before it becomes a reminder in your workspace.
- Source the obligation. Find the regulator material and capture the citation, filing channel, and scope.
- Map it to your footprint. Connect the obligation to license type, jurisdiction, regulator, entity, or business-model inputs.
- Build the work item. Translate the requirement into due dates, lead times, evidence needs, owners, and repeat cadence.
- Review before surfacing. Check the source trail and keep review context visible inside the product.
Task source
Primary source
What you see in NomisFile
- Plain-English filing name and responsible regulator.
- Source citation and link when the source is available online.
- Due date logic, lead time, renewal cadence, and evidence checklist.
- Review state so your team can tell source-backed work from manual inputs.
In the product
The source trail stays with the task.
Methodology should not live on a marketing page alone. The important context travels with each obligation, so a compliance owner can open a filing and understand the basis for the task without hunting through a separate document.
Updates
When rules change, the change has a source.
We monitor regulator updates, NMLS materials, and customer-reported gaps. When a change affects a customer footprint, NomisFile is designed to show the source and the operational impact before it changes the work.
Our update standard
- Track official regulator updates and effective dates.
- Connect changes to the license footprints they affect.
- Preserve the source trail for reviewer and customer context.
- Use Reg Watch for upcoming changes that need attention.
The boundary
NomisFile helps you track compliance work. It is not legal advice.
NomisFile is software with informational regulatory references. We are not a law firm, and citations or review labels are not legal opinions. Your team and counsel remain responsible for determining what applies to your business, responding to regulators, and making compliance decisions.
