Suade named a World's Top Fintech company 2026 in RegTech. Suade Labs Ltd is proud to share that Suade has been named one of the World's Top Fintech Companies 2026 by CNBC and Statista. Suade was recognised in the RegTech category for its work helping financial institutions modernise regulatory reporting and move away from fragmented systems and manual processes. The recognition reflects its commitment to creating a more efficient and data-driven approach to regulatory compliance, supported by technology that gives firms greater control over their data, calculations and reporting processes. Recognised among the world's leading fintech companies. CNBC and Statista's World's Top Fintech Companies 2026 list features 500 companies across eight areas of financial technology. For the fourth edition of the awards, Statista assessed around 3,500 companies using general and category-specific performance indicators. More than 25,000 data points were considered as part of the selection process. The companies are presented alphabetically within each category rather than as a numbered ranking. This year also marks the first time that RegTech has appeared as its own category. Forty regulatory technology companies were selected, representing 8% of the full list. The category covers businesses helping organisations meet regulatory obligations across areas including regulatory reporting, compliance, identity verification and financial crime monitoring. The introduction of a dedicated RegTech category reflects the growing importance of regulation and compliance within financial technology. As financial institutions adopt new systems and explore the use of AI, they also need strong data foundations and clear controls to ensure technology can be used safely. What the award means for Suade. Suade was founded to address one of the financial services industry's most persistent challenges: how to meet complex regulatory reporting requirements without relying on disconnected data, manual calculations and difficult-to-maintain reporting processes. Its regulatory reporting platform allows financial institutions to manage data, calculations and reporting within a controlled environment. Built on an API-first and open architecture, Suade supports end-to-end regulatory reporting automation. It helps institutions reduce manual work, improve data accuracy and adapt as regulatory requirements change. At the centre of this approach is the Financial Regulatory Data Standard, known as FIRE. FIRE provides a common specification for the granular data used across regulatory submissions, calculations and supervisory reporting. By standardising information at the data layer, firms can create a more consistent foundation for regulatory reporting. This makes it easier to reuse data across reporting requirements, apply controls and trace information back to its source. Why regulatory reporting technology matters. Regulatory reporting teams are expected to respond to frequent rule changes while delivering accurate information within strict deadlines. For many firms, this work still depends on spreadsheets, manual adjustments and separate systems for different reports or jurisdictions. This can increase operational risk and make it difficult to understand how data has been changed between its source and the final submission. Modern RegTech platforms give firms an opportunity to rethink this model. Rather than treating each regulatory report as an isolated process, financial institutions can establish a trusted data foundation that supports multiple requirements. Calculations, validations and reporting workflows can then be automated while remaining transparent and auditable. Suade enables firms to map data into a standardised structure and reuse it across regulatory requirements. This reduces the need for repeated transformations and helps reporting teams manage change more efficiently. This foundation is becoming even more important as banks consider how AI could support regulatory reporting. AI can help with repetitive implementation and validation work, but outputs still need to be tested and reviewed by regulatory specialists. Modernise your regulatory reporting with Suade.

Suade, a regulatory reporting platform for financial institutions, has positioned itself as the only AI-native platform in the market for agentic AI. Built API-first and cloud-native since 2014, the company enables AI to interface with regulatory data and workflows whilst maintaining full governance and transparency. Unlike competitors that layer AI onto legacy systems, Suade integrates AI directly into its operating model. The platform allows institutions to connect their own AI tools using standard authentication, with all activity fully logged for audit purposes. AI functionality is not enabled by default, giving institutions complete control. The London-based company's architecture supports programmable regulatory reporting and modern AI integration without vendor lock-in. Chief executive Diana Paredes said most platforms are "legacy systems where AI is layered on as an afterthought", which doesn't work in regulated environments.
