Winning RegTech Start-up of the Year 2025, launching Bluline at the event and then presenting our end-to-end customer remediation platform was a turning point for us. Within days of the event, two of the Big Four banks reached out to learn more. Since then, we’ve signed another Big Four bank, met with the regulators, firms with further opportunities progressing.

The Association provides a credible stage for RegTechs to demonstrate real, enterprise outcomes and connect directly with industry decision-makers. We’re grateful to the team for building such a strong community, and proud to give back to the ecosystem that helped launch our growth.”
