Subscribe to our newsletter

SmartTrade Technologies has launched smartTrade Agentic Copilot (STAC), a significant upgrade to its AI-enabled trading and payments ecosystem. The new system introduces an MCP-enabled Sovereign AI architecture that allows banks to deploy advanced agentic AI technology whilst maintaining strict security, compliance and latency requirements. Built on three core principles: full client segregation; guaranteed data privacy with zero leakage to public models; and open-standard Model Context Protocol governance, the system ensures each AI stack operates within a secure, private perimeter unique to each client.

The platform extends beyond the first-generation smartCopilot’s natural language analytics capabilities to encompass all solution modules and workflows. Key features include conversational interrogation of algorithmic decisions, human-approved machine learning recommendations for pricing optimisation, autonomous monitoring of business signals such as client churn risk and liquidity imbalances, and integrated access to smartTrade’s knowledge base for reference data management.

Developed by smartTrade Advanced Innovation Labs and hosted on MetaCloud, the system leverages Equinix infrastructure and AWS tools including Amazon Bedrock to deliver a production-ready, fully isolated foundation for financial institutions.
