CUBE has acquired Acin, a RegTech firm specialising in operational risk and AI-driven technologies for the financial services sector.
The acquisition strengthens CUBE’s position in the RegTech market by adding Acin’s operational risk platform and proprietary control data network. While the value of the deal was not disclosed, the transaction marks a strategic step forward in creating an integrated platform for regulatory compliance and risk management across the financial services landscape.
CUBE provides financial institutions with an end-to-end solution for tracking and managing regulatory change, leveraging AI to automate compliance tasks and streamline governance. Its platform, RegPlatform, is used by over 1,000 customers worldwide and is backed by a growing global workforce of 700 employees across 20 countries.
Acin, on the other hand, has developed an AI-based platform that enables firms to digitise their non-financial risk analysis. Its network allows financial institutions to compare controls, benchmark best practices, and anonymously share standards—all while preserving data privacy. This empowers customers to proactively enhance risk mitigation and compliance processes using peer insights.
This acquisition adds to CUBE’s recent growth strategy, following last year’s purchases of Thomson Reuters Regulatory Intelligence, Oden, and RegRoom. With Acin now part of the group, CUBE aims to deliver the first unified platform combining regulatory compliance with operational risk management.
The deal also marks the beginning of a new industry-wide collaboration initiative, spearheaded by CUBE and supported by five leading banks, with further partners expected. The collaboration will encourage collective intelligence and shared insights, enabling more secure, cost-effective compliance strategies across the sector.
CUBE CEO Ben Richmond said, “This is a significant step forward in how financial services firms across the globe can take a truly integrated approach to their compliance and risk management. Since the founding of CUBE fifteen years ago, we’ve become recognised for the transformational solutions we’ve delivered in compliance. We’ll now build on this by connecting the first and second lines of defence with a whole new end-to-end capability, which at its core will be the best of what AI can deliver for transformation.”
Richmond added, “The work that Acin’s been doing to enable industry benchmarking is also the perfect platform for the start of CUBE’s industry-wide collaboration initiative. It’s a first for the industry, and we see a significant opportunity for firms to reduce costs and make better, faster decisions. What was once siloed knowledge can become collective intelligence for improving compliance and risk effectiveness industry-wide. Secure, data-driven collaboration isn’t just possible, it’s essential for the continued evolution of the industry.”
Acin founder Paul Ford said, “Acin has seen first-hand the shared commitment of addressing operational risk from leaders within the industry. By joining forces with CUBE, our platform will continue to grow and deliver even greater value to both our existing customers and CUBE’s global client base, while shaping the future of our industry. We are delighted to be part of this next era and excited about the increased value CUBE and Acin can deliver to customers in one unified platform.”
