Regnology Acquires VERMEG’s Agile Division, Expanding Global Leadership in Regulatory Reporting

Subscribe to our newsletter

Regnology has acquired Agile, the regulatory reporting division of VERMEG, in a move that underscores the growing trend of consolidation in the RegTech industry. This strategic acquisition strengthens Regnology’s capabilities in delivering end-to-end regulatory reporting solutions, while enabling VERMEG to focus on its core strengths in Collateral Management and Insurance.

Agile, a SaaS-based platform originally part of VERMEG’s Lombard Risk portfolio, serves over 150 banks worldwide across key regions, including the UK, Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific. Known for its modular, scalable solutions that cover the entire regulatory reporting process—from data ingestion to report submission—Agile will now be integrated into Regnology’s platform. This combination will enhance Regnology’s ability to address the increasing demands for automation, granular data management, and efficient regulatory compliance.

For VERMEG, the divestment aligns with a strategy to consolidate its leadership in Collateral Management and Insurance. “By joining forces with Regnology, Agile gains access to a broader platform and new opportunities for growth,” said Badreddine Ouali, Founder and Co-CEO of VERMEG. “This allows us to concentrate on delivering exceptional value in our core areas, ensuring long-term success for both companies and their teams.”

Building a Global Footprint in Regulatory Reporting

The acquisition also bolsters Regnology’s global presence, complementing its recent purchase of CG3-1, a firm known for its regulatory calculations in the U.S. broker-dealer market. The move is expected to enhance Regnology’s offerings for broker-dealers by integrating expertise in regulatory capital, customer reserve, and portfolio margin requirements.

Together, these moves enable Regnology to serve a wider range of financial institutions—from Tier 1 banks to community banks—and strengthen its reach in Asia Pacific, with clients in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Australia including a number of regulators.

“This marks a pivotal moment for Regnology,” said Rob Mackay, CEO of Regnology. “Our expanded footprint allows us to connect regulators and financial institutions worldwide, transforming legacy reporting processes into scalable, efficient networks. By investing in technology and talent, we aim to help industry stakeholders navigate the complex regulatory landscape with confidence.”

Nordic Capital, a key investor in Regnology, highlighted the strategic significance of the acquisition. “This milestone reflects the need for forward-looking solutions that prioritize efficiency and stability,” a spokesperson noted, adding that the deal advances Regnology’s position as a global leader in regulatory reporting.
