Corlytics wins FinTech Breakthrough policy management award

Corlytics has won the Policy Management Solution of the Year award in the FinTech Breakthrough Awards, run by FinTech Breakthrough, which tracks the financial technology market.

The Dublin-based regulatory technology company was recognised for its policy management offering, now integrated into its broader regulatory intelligence platform. The product combines regulatory monitoring, obligations extraction and policy governance in a single system for regulated firms.

Policy management has been built directly into the regulatory lifecycle through the addition of Clausematch technology. Corlytics acquired Clausematch and used its technology to embed policy drafting and oversight into the platform.

Regulatory content on the platform is monitored continuously and organised by jurisdiction, regulator and risk theme. New and amended rules are then analysed, with obligations extracted and structured using AI so they can be mapped to internal policies.

This mapping is intended to create traceability between a firm's policy statements and the underlying regulations. In practice, compliance teams can link policy wording back to a specific source rule or obligation.

Award context

The FinTech Breakthrough Awards cover a wide range of financial technology categories, including banking, payments, lending, investments, insurance technology and regulatory technology. Previous winners include Revolut, eMoney, Hopper, Citipay and Capital One.

Steve Johansson, managing director of FinTech Breakthrough, commented on the decision.

"Corlytics has redefined what policy management means in a regulated environment," said Steve Johansson, Managing Director of FinTech Breakthrough.

He added: "By unifying regulatory intelligence, obligations extraction, and enterprise policy governance, Corlytics' platform delivers living policies that evolve in lockstep with regulation. This unique, end-to-end capability, backed by measurable impact, sustained innovation, and deep regulatory expertise, makes Corlytics the clear pick for 'Policy Management Solution of the Year.'"

Product focus

The award highlights an area of compliance technology drawing growing attention from banks, insurers and other financial services groups facing frequent rule changes across multiple jurisdictions. Policy management systems are used to translate external regulation into internal documents, controls and governance processes.

For firms operating across borders, that task can become fragmented when regulatory monitoring, legal interpretation and policy authoring sit in separate tools or teams. Corlytics is positioning its platform around the idea that these processes should sit together, with regulatory change feeding directly into policy updates.

Freddie Frith, VP and Head of Sales Americas at Corlytics, said the combined platform was intended to replace disconnected systems.

"The acquisition of Clausematch, combined with deep regulatory intelligence and AI-driven obligations management, has resulted in a solution that replaces fragmented compliance architectures with a single, coherent platform. We look forward to continuing to invest in the future of regulatory compliance."

Corlytics has invested more than €50 million in research and development. It sells regulatory technology to large banks, insurers and other financial institutions, focusing on helping compliance teams find, interpret and implement regulatory change.

Company view

John Byrne, Founder and CEO of Corlytics, linked the award to the group's investment in product development and market research.

"We're thrilled to receive this acknowledgement from FinTech Breakthrough. Innovation and R&D are a critical part of the Corlytics strategy, and we'll continue to invest in expert staff, advanced technologies, and market research to seamlessly embed policy management into a continuous compliance operating model," said Byrne.

The recognition gives Corlytics added visibility in the regtech segment, where suppliers are competing to show that AI tools can help firms manage rule changes and policy updates with clearer audit trails and less manual work.
