The platform consists of a KYC Suite, which allows wealth- and asset managers to identify clients, ascertain a risk profile and maintain their client files in line with rules and regulations such as Wwft and MiFID II. Next to this, the platform includes a complete investment administration that makes asset managers more bank-independent. Blanco’s banking platform enables wealth- and asset managers to continuously comply with legal requirements and it’s also sold in separate modules, allowing asset managers to pick and choose their services.

Financial technology is often very complex, but Blanco has paid special attention to the user-friendliness of the platform. The platform is fully web-based, allowing asset managers to use it instantly. The platform’s API functions as a ​‘digital socket’, allowing the platform to be connected to other banks and banking products that an wealth- and asset manager uses in order to serve clients, such as cash accounts, institutional custody and brokerage. The banking platform is fully ​‘white-labeled’: asset managers can give the platform their own companies’ look & feel. With Blanco they can even have their own app, which clients can download from the Google and Apple app stores.

Joost Walgemoed, CEO of Blanco: ​“Blanco enables wealth- and asset managers to automate their services to a large extent, while the wealth- and asset manager still maintains a client relationship and takes the important investment decisions himself. At Blanco, we strongly believe in the fact that financial services cannot be provided without human trust and empathy. At the end of the day, Blanco is not about technology, but about people: with Blanco, wealth- and asset managers remain competitive in a technology-driven future, and they have the freedom to focus on what it’s all about in the end: the customers.”
