Empowering Global Regulatory Transformation

Regnology launched the next-generation Ascend platform with agentic AI, extending the platform with RGI, the Regnology Intelligence layer, across explanation, recommendation and governed execution. Regnology Risk Hub Ascend brought the same governed intelligence to balance sheet and enterprise risk management, and RRH Ascend advanced Straight Through Reporting as an industry standard.

The acquisition of Fed Reporter expanded Regnology's footprint across North America.

Regnology published The Agentic Gap, its first global study of AI readiness in regulatory reporting, drawing on 276 practitioners in 22 countries and supporting economic research by Oliver Wyman. The 33rd RegTech Convention convened the industry under the theme From Control to Intelligence.

Regnology deepened its capabilities in supervisory technology and data modeling through the acquisition of BR-AG, a SupTech pioneer that significantly enhanced the company’s offering for regulators.

The acquisition of Heywood strengthened Regnology’s presence in the UK and South Africa, expanding its reach in the pensions and long-term savings sector and reinforcing its commitment to supporting financial institutions across key Commonwealth markets.

These strategic moves reinforced Regnology’s position as a global leader in regulatory intelligence, delivering end-to-end solutions for both financial institutions and supervisory authorities.

Building on these foundations, the integration of Wolters Kluwer’s Financial Risk and Regulatory Reporting (FRR) business unit marks a transformative milestone, extending Regnology’s scope to include risk, tax, and finance reporting while accelerating its cloud-first and AI-powered innovation strategy.

Regnology advanced its ambition to modernize regulatory reporting infrastructure through continued investment in cloud-native delivery, aimed at improving scalability and efficiency across reporting processes.

The acquisitions of Vermeg’s RegTech business and FINGO significantly expanded Regnology’s global footprint across Europe, Asia, the Americas, and Central and Eastern Europe.

The company also launched the Regnology Chatbot and advanced RGD (Regnology Global Data) as a cornerstone of its unified data strategy—enabling clients to harness regulatory data more intelligently and efficiently.

These achievements were supported by a strategic minority investment from CPP Investments and recognized by Chartis Research, which named Regnology a category leader in its RiskTech100 rankings.

As we continue to grow and expand organically and externally, we are also reinforcing our product and service offering and unifying all our resources under the Regnology umbrella.

This reflects our Regnology platform vision today and symbolizes our future as we maintain our singular focus serving regulators and the regulated with powerful reporting solutions.

In 2023, we enhanced and complemented our technology offering with two key acquisitions:

• Metadata Technology (Metadata), a UK-based provider of Statistical Data and Metadata eXchange (SDMX) solutions for central banks and national statistics authorities.
• Invoke, a French-based provider serving over 1,800 regulated entities and supervisory authorities throughout Europe with its XBRL-based banking, insurance, and tax reporting solutions.

Regnology is on a steady expansion path to emerge as the global regulatory reporting powerhouse, leveraging over 30-years' expertise to deliver safer, more efficient, and innovative solutions serving regulators and the regulated.

In 2022, we accelerated our product extension and geographic outreach with three key acquisitions:

• PWC’s Tax Information Reporting software business, a software provider serving EMEA and US financial institutions with an AEOI tax reporting solutions covering CRS and FATCA and a client tax reporting

• KPMG’s K-Helix regulatory reporting software business unit, an established XBRL provider simplifying reporting for a wide range of regulatory reporting requirements across the UK, EU, and wider EEA.

• b.fine, a Belgian RegTech firm that assists over 30 financial institutions in enhancing their reporting supply chain across Europe.

We also announced our strategic partnership with Google Cloud to deliver augmented cloud capabilities to the regulatory reporting industry, with the release of our Rcloud platform.

The creation of a global RegTech and SupTech powerhouse:

The years 2020 and 2021 mark a major milestone for our company. In 2020, BearingPoint Group sold the RegTech business (BearingPoint RegTech) to private equity firm Nordic Capital to foster the next phase of innovation and sustainable growth.

In 2021, BearingPoint RegTech joined forces with Vizor Software, and we changed our name to Regnology. Together, we are well positioned for further growth and provide best-in-class solutions across the regulatory value chain.

A phase of innovation: During this period, we launched various new products, including ABACUS/GMP, the regulatory reporting platform for Austrian banks, Abacus Transactions for transaction-based reporting, Abacus Regulator, a data management solution for central banks and supervisory authorities, and the Vizor AEOI (Automated Exchange of Information) platform to help reduce tax evasion. To expand our solution portfolio in the fast-growing field of risk management and reporting, we acquired the risk management and reporting specialist RiValue. We also developed and released a new generation of ABACUS/DaVinci, our regulatory reporting platform for financial institutions: Abacus360 Banking. In 2019, we launched the RegTech Factory, a digital, fully integrated, and automated "reporting factory”.

Internationalization and new regulatory requirements: From 2007, we expanded into new markets in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The global financial crisis brought a wave of new and increased regulations, such as Basel III, Solvency II, and EMIR, among others. We focused on developing future-proofed technology to enable financial institutions and regulators to respond to ever-changing and ever-increasing regulatory requirements. Additionally, those technologies would also promote transparency on risk-related data to be more proactive in preventing future breakdowns. In 2011, we launched Abacus Insurance for Solvency II reporting and implemented the Basel III requirements in our regulatory reporting products.

Expansion of our solution portfolio: At the beginning of 2002, we further extended our portfolio with EasyTax, an international client tax calculation and reporting solution. Later that year, KPMG Consulting changed to BearingPoint Inc. As part of the new company BearingPoint Inc., we started working on the new generation of Abacus and released ABACUS/DaVinci in 2003. In 2005, we developed the first Basel II/CRD III reports based on XBRL. At the same time, Vizor developed data collection solutions that automated manual, paper-based processes and transformed disjointed, poor quality data flows into a centralized repository of high-quality data. In 2006, we started with our Managed Services offering providing financial institutions with services related to the technical operation of our software solutions.

The start of our journey: Back in late 1993, as part of KPMG, we started a small project called Abacus. Just one year later in 1994, we sold the first licenses and hosted our first user group that developed over the years into a leading industry event, the RegTech Convention. In 1995, FiRE was launched, a software that supports banks and securities brokers active in Switzerland, Liechtenstein and The Bahamas with automated regulatory reporting to the authorities. The next milestone was the release of our tax reporting solutions EasyTax and FiTAX in 2001. Around the same time, a handful of ex-financial supervisors and technology consultants founded Vizor Software from a small office in Dublin. Our founding teams had one shared objective – to enable the transparency and stability of the financial markets.
