Duco launches agentic operations platform. 27 May 2026 UK Reporter: Zarah Choudhary Duco has launched its first agentic operations platform for financial services. The platform is built on Duco's existing infrastructure, which the company says processes 20 billion transactions per month for more than 200 clients. According to Duco, the platform combines post-trade operational tools with autonomous agent capabilities designed to operate at scale. The launch includes a new agent layer built using Model Context Protocol, which provides capabilities across reconciliation, data preparation, data access, audit trails, exception management, and document creation. Duco says the platform has been designed to provide agents with a deterministic and auditable toolset for post-trade operations, rather than replacing existing matching, rules or audit processes. Christian Nentwich says: "For more than a decade, its clients have trusted Duco to reconcile the most complex data in capital markets. They are now telling Assetservicingtimes that agents will run a meaningful share of post-trade operations within three years. Duco is assembling the most powerful set of tools and context ever built for operations to enable this. "What we are launching today is not another AI feature. It is the operating system for post-trade in the agentic era."

Exclusive: founder Christian Nentwich returns as Duco CEO. Nentwich created and previously led the London-based company for almost 14 years before handing over to former Broadway Technology chief Michael Chin in January 2024. March 16, 2026 Image: Duco Christian Nentwich has returned as CEO of data automation company Duco, effective 16 March 2026, FinTech Futures can exclusively reveal. Duco is a no-code platform designed to allow operations and finance teams to manage, ingest, reconcile, and validate structured and unstructured data types using AI technology. Nentwich created and previously led the London-based company for almost 14 years before handing over to former Broadway Technology chief Michael Chin in January 2024. In an interview with FinTech Futures discussing his return to the CEO role, Nentwich says he has remained "very close to the company" as a board member since his initial departure from direct leadership two years ago. Explaining his decision to reassume the position of CEO, Nentwich says: "We need to take the exponential explosion in model capabilities very, very seriously," adding that "Duco is working with our customers to rapidly innovate in this space and make sure that they can safely adopt AI operations in financial services". "Day one, I'm reaching out to our top customers to say that I'm back, and that the focus is product innovation and helping you navigate the AI journey, because it's difficult in regulated industries," Nentwich outlines for week one priorities. He also plans to speak with every employee in his first week - "almost 200 people", he says. Following a planned transition, Chin will step down as CEO and continue to support the board and leadership team as a senior advisor, maintaining select customer relationships to "ensure a smooth handover", Nentwich says. He notes how the handover comes with stronger operational foundations, stating that "Michael is handing me more of an engine than we've had before to deliver here". Nentwich emphasises that Chin remains closely involved, noting the two are speaking almost daily during the transition. As CEO, Chin notably led the acquisition and integration of Antwerp-based start-up Metamaze in February 2024 and worked to enhance Duco's intelligent document processing (IDP) capabilities. The purchase, along with wider company activities, has received continued support from majority shareholder Nordic Capital. On this front, Nentwich added that the company is not planning to raise additional capital at this time, with profitability expected this year.
