BankenTech 2026

Titanbay builds the infrastructure that makes private markets work for wealth managers, asset managers and their clients. We are the only firm that structures, launches, runs, and trades private markets funds in one place, on purpose-built technology that didn’t exist until we built it.

Private markets infrastructure has been stuck in the 1990s: emails, PDFs, spreadsheets and lawyers. We bring the legal, regulatory, technical and operational layers together in a single stack, so private markets can be offered with the ease clients expect from public markets.

Most providers do one piece of the puzzle and hand off the rest. We do all four. In one place. That’s the whole point.

Titanbay is headquartered in London, with offices in Dublin and Luxembourg.

Business Radar provides adverse media monitoring and KYB/KYC compliance intelligence for financial institutions and compliance teams. The platform helps organisations systematically screen clients, suppliers and business partners for negative news coverage, sanctions risks and reputational risks.

Germany is a particularly promising market. In July 2024, BaFin’s updated GwG guidance (AuA 2.0) explicitly made adverse media screening part of Customer Due Diligence, with the €6.5 million fine imposed on Solaris SE as a recent precedent. The European AMLR and the new AMLA, based in Frankfurt, are harmonising the requirements further, while the CSRD and the German Supply Chain Act (Lieferkettengesetz) are increasing demand for screening beyond the AML context. Together with tighter sanctions regimes, this creates a structurally growing need for integrated compliance and risk management solutions, which is exactly where Business Radar comes in.

Cognito Media is a specialist PR, marketing and communications agency for financial services and technology companies. It supports organisations with reputation management, brand development, media relations and commercial growth, both nationally and internationally.

FiSer Consulting is an independent, fast-growing consulting firm specialising in transformation services for financial services, with offices in Amsterdam and Frankfurt. FiSer serves banks, insurers, and payment providers across Europe with their project management capabilities.

Germany’s three-pillar banking system faces a compounding challenge: meeting demanding, time-critical regulations, while simultaneously modernising fragmented IT landscapes, ageing legacy infrastructure and embedding AI functionality.

FiSer’s distinctive strength lies in bridging strategy and execution — translating complex regulatory requirements into concrete implementation, fully integrated into existing processes, systems, and governance structures. Drawing on deep experience in the highly regulated Dutch supervisory environment (ECB/DNB/AFM), FiSer doesn’t just advise — it delivers.

Five consecutive FD Gazelle Awards and recognition as a top consulting firm in the Netherlands in 2025 reflect a firm that consistently turns complexity into confidence.

PaymentGenes Consulting B.V. offers payments consultancy, payment trainings, and M&A advisory for banks, FinTechs, enterprise merchants and the mobility sector. Our products are relevant across Europe and beyond, and we target Germany as a key growth market.

WTSS verifies critical customer journeys, such as a payment, in the bank’s live production environment: with real accounts, as a real customer. We do this at the moment it matters. When a new product or payment service launches, we are the first customer. After that, we keep watching 24/7, so an outage is spotted before a customer feels it. We don’t replace existing QA or monitoring. We add the layer they miss, and we have been doing so for more than twenty years.

Our clients are large international banks with complex organisations, extensive regulation and heavy technical systems. Think of Basel III/IV, AML/KYC, DORA and MiCA, and long-running programmes around legacy replacement and risk reporting. We already work with several major European and international banks, including in the US and the UK.

Since October 2025, European banks, German banks included, must process payments within ten seconds, day and night. There is no longer time to fix errors after the fact.

Media4AI – Trusted Content für smarte Entscheidungen

Media4AI bietet lizenzierte deutsche Medieninhalte für interne KI-Anwendungen von Corporate Intelligence, Research, Analysten, M&A und Wissensmanagement.

Das Problem:

Der Output interner KI-Anwendungen hängt wesentlich von der Qualität der zugrunde liegenden Informationen ab. Inhalte öffentlich verfügbarer Webquellen sind häufig unvollständig, wenig belastbar oder schlicht falsch. Vertrauenswürdige journalistische Inhalte dagegen dürfen nicht beliebig in KI-Tools genutzt werden.

Die Folge: KI-Anwendungen bleiben hinter den Erwartungen zurück.

Die Lösung:

PMG Media4AI schafft schnellen Zugang zu hochwertigen deutschen Presseinhalten – strukturiert, lizenziert und bereit für den Einsatz in modernen KI-Systemen.

Qualitätscontent aus Zeitungen, Zeitschriften, Fach- und Onlinemedien dient als verlässlicher Datenbestand für interne KI-Systeme. Das Ergebnis: präzise Antworten, belastbare Analysen und mehr Vertrauen in KI-gestützte Entscheidungen.
