Xceptor extends SaaS offering to Switzerland and Japan. * RegTech * 18.08.2026 09:20 am Xceptor, a global leader in data automation for capital markets, today announced it has launched sovereign-grade SaaS in Switzerland and Japan, two of the world's most demanding markets. The expansion reflects growing demand for solutions - including Xceptor's Data Automation, AI, and Confirmations solutions - that align with local data residency and regulatory requirements. "Financial institutions operating in markets like Switzerland and Japan often have to navigate strict data sovereignty and technology outsourcing rules," said Dan Reid, CTO and Co-Founder at Xceptor. "The new SaaS regions give our clients greater flexibility to automate mission-critical operations while ensuring data remains within their desired local jurisdictions. This represents an important milestone in our global SaaS strategy, focused on supporting clients wherever they operate." The move comes as capital markets firms increasingly rely on SaaS infrastructure. Xceptor's SaaS clients use its Data Automation, Confirmations, Tax, and Reconciliation solutions to process billions of rows of data, ingest terabytes of data, and seamlessly handle over 70,000 SFTP files each month. The platform processes more than one million inbound emails for clients every week. This scale is underpinned by high service availability and dedicated, encrypted client environments, enabling firms to accelerate automation initiatives while maintaining the security, resilience, and regulatory compliance expected in capital markets. "Increasing regulatory, operational, and technological pressures are accelerating SaaS usage across capital markets," Reid added. "With managed infrastructure and continuous software updates, firms can respond to industry demands, manage growing data volumes, and adopt AI confidently within established governance and control frameworks - all at a faster time to value." Xceptor's SaaS offering is delivered via Microsoft Azure with regional hosting across the US, EMEA, and APAC, now including dedicated regions in Switzerland and Japan. The platform is ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certified, with upgrades, security patches, and performance monitoring managed by Xceptor, eliminating costly upgrade cycles and reducing the need for specialist infrastructure teams.

Xceptor, a data automation provider for capital markets, has launched AI Reconciliation Rule Builder and Live Tester to help operations teams build and test reconciliation logic more efficiently. The functionality is initially available within Xceptor Reconciliations SaaS. The AI-powered tool automatically generates matching and comparison rules from sample data, which users can then review, refine and test before deployment. According to Xceptor, internal tests showed the Rule Builder could reduce rule validation time by more than half whilst significantly cutting manual effort. The solution addresses growing pressure on capital markets firms to reconcile increasing data volumes as settlement cycles shorten. By enabling non-technical users to build reliable logic quickly, Xceptor aims to reduce the time from source file upload to working rule configuration whilst maintaining human oversight and governance.
