Fenergo Partners with Bank of China US

Bank of China US branches have gone live on Fenergo’s client lifecycle management (CLM) platform, Fenergo CLM, reports Henry Vilar of Fintech Futures (Finovate’s sister publication).

Fenergo CLM provides the bank with an end-to-end client management solution enhancing its compliance framework, especially in the areas of know your customer (KYC), anti-money laundering (AML), and customer due diligence (CDD).

“BoC US Branches are dedicated to providing the tightest set of regulatory controls and customer due diligence,” said Marc Murphy, CEO of Fenergo. “We have invited the bank to join our client advisory board and regulatory forums, adding to the collective industry intelligence of Fenergo’s other global clients.”

Back in February, Fenergo partnered with regtech provider Arachnys to give financial institutions, namely investment, corporate and private banks, a KYC and CLM solution.

Founded in 2009, Fenergo demonstrated its Deal Manager solution at FinovateEurope 2012. The company has raised more than $80 million in funding, and includes Aquiline Capital Partners, Insight Venture Partners, Ulster Bank Diageo Venture Fund, and Investec among its investors.

Fenergo Forges Strategic Partnership with Arachnys

Fenergo Forges Strategic Partnership with Arachnys

Client lifecycle management technology specialist Fenergo announced a strategic partnership with another regtech innovator, Arachnys, this week. The agreement will integrate Arachnys’ due diligence research and management solution within Fenergo’s end-to-end on boarding workflow. The combination of Arachnys search, audit trail, and reporting functionality with Fenergo’s regulatory rules and risk scoring engine will give FIs a comprehensive KYC and CLM solution. Investment, corporate, and private banks alike will benefit from an integrated audit trail, automated periodic review, and accelerated on boarding and compliance for businesses.

Fenergo CEO Marc Murphy called partnerships like this “key” to his company’s ability to expand and better serve its clients. Adding that “our community is seeking to deploy new technologies for automating regulatory compliance,” Murphy praised Arachnys’s use of robotics for investigative processes in particular as “cutting edge.”

“We are delighted to partner with Fenergo to improve the visibility and tracking of due diligence processes across the customer risk lifecycle, eliminating the need to work across multiple systems,” said Arachnys president Ed Sander. “The harmony between Fenergo’s rules engine and Arachnys’s search, audit trail and reporting techniques will convert compliance into an accelerator for top line revenue.”

Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, Fenergo demonstrated its Deal Manager client on boarding and account opening solution at FinovateEurope 2012. More recently, the company partnered with BNP Paribas to deploy its Client Lifecycle Management solution, and teamed up with compliance and risk management solutions provider Opus to improve integration of risk relevant data in the KYC process. In December, the company was recognized by Chartis RiskTech100 as the only CLM provider in the top 40 of the world’s major risk and compliance technology companies.

Fenergo has raised more than $80 million in funding. The company includes Ulster Bank Diageo Venture Fund, Aquiline Capital Partners, Insight Venture Partners, and Investec among its investors.
