Wecan Group offers the first blockchain infrastructure enabling banks to manage their customers' compliance. The group offers a solution for the secure storage and exchange of structured data and documents between organisations and individuals.
After raising CHF 1.6 million for its digital vaults earlier in 2022, the series B financing round of the Geneva-based leader in compliance software for private banks reaches a total of CHF 3.3 million raised.
Intended to support its expansion in Switzerland and internationally as it opens up new markets, this latest financing reiterates the interest and confidence of well-informed investors who are keen to support Wecan Group in its growth.
The new funds will allow the acceleration of Wecan’s projects, such as Wecan Comply, already used by 13 banks and more than 70 external asset managers in only 10 months.
