Novatus Global is a Series B scale-up RegTech SaaS provider and boutique advisory firm, helping financial institutions manage their most complex regulatory requirements. We combine deep consulting expertise with cutting-edge SaaS solutions, enabling clients to strengthen compliance, enhance resilience, and drive sustainable growth.

En:ACT automates reporting, reconciles data across systems, and maps errors directly to regulatory rules, helping firms remediate quickly, reduce risk, and meet regulatory obligations with confidence. Already trusted by more than 30 firms worldwide, the platform is scalable, proven, and designed for both business and technical users.
