London, May 26, 2026 – ComplyCube, a leading provider for global Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and Identity Verification (IDV) solutions, has been named RegTech Partner of the Year at the British Bank Awards (BBA) for the third year running. This accolade recognises ComplyCube’s work with banks and financial institutions to improve customer onboarding, strengthen fraud prevention, and support scalable compliance operations in an increasingly digital banking environment.
Raising the Bar for Fraud Prevention and Anti-Money Laundering (AML)
The British Bank Awards 2026, organised by Smart Money People, celebrates excellence across the UK banking and financial services ecosystem. For ComplyCube, winning RegTech Partner of the Year at BBA 2026 marks the third year in a row. It demonstrates and highlights industry recognition and is indicative of sustained trust from financial institutions. This feedback comes from companies that depend on secure, scalable, and intelligent compliance infrastructure.
However, fraud remains a major challenge for UK financial institutions. In fact, The Office for National Statistics estimated 4.2 million fraud incidents in England and Wales in the year ending March 2025. They also reported a 31% increase compared with the previous year. This rise was mainly driven by a 30% increase in bank and credit account fraud, which reached around 2.4 million incidents. As a result, ComplyCube helps financial institutions respond to these risks with identity verification, AML screening, and configurable onboarding workflows.
Congratulations to ComplyCube for winning RegTech partner of the year for the third year running.
Chief Executive Officer of Smart Money People, Peer Jelendorf also said, “Following feedback in this year’s British Bank Awards, clients say that ComplyCube continues to demonstrate excellence in regulatory technology, delivering innovative solutions that help organisations stay compliant while strengthening the safety and integrity of customer interactions. This year, firms are facing increasing regulatory scrutiny and growing focus on digital identity and fraud prevention, so ComplyCube’s approach to streamlined and scalable compliance is more important than ever”.
Powering Modern Banking Compliance
Today, digital banking has raised customer expectations for fast, seamless onboarding. Yet, firms must also meet strict obligations around customer due diligence, fraud monitoring, and identity assurance. The FCA states that firms are an important line of defence against financial crime. This sentiment reinforces the need for effective systems that help protect customers, markets, and the wider financial system.
ComplyCube’s platform enables banks and regulated businesses to build risk-based onboarding journeys that are secure, scalable, and adaptable. Its no-code workflow engine, global identity verification, and AML capabilities help compliance teams move quickly without weakening controls.
Winning RegTech Partner of the Year for a third year running is a real milestone for the team.
CEO and Founder of ComplyCube, Tarek Nechma, stated, “Fraud is becoming more sophisticated, regulatory expectations are rising, and customers expect onboarding to be seamless. Our job is to give financial institutions the tools to meet all three at once, without compromise. This recognition is a credit to our customers, our partners and a team that refuses to stand still”.
