Automated Regulatory Intelligence (ARI) and Regulatory Change Management (RCM) company CUBE announces the acquisition of Acin, a London-based regtech and global operational risk AI and technology provider for the financial services sector.
The acquisition accelerates CUBE’s mission to help the financial services sector and adjacent regulated industries navigate increasingly complex compliance and risk environments, providing an industry-first, data-driven, end-to-end regulatory compliance and risk management platform.
Acin’s AI-based platform empowers financial institutions to digitise their non-financial risk analysis safely. The company has established a network that calibrates control data and facilitates the exchange of best practices and standards among financial institutions. This creates new opportunities for regulatory compliance and risk mitigation, as customers can compare processes and best practices against their anonymised peers, offering valuable insights to enhance controls while maintaining the full privacy and integrity of data.
The acquisition also signals the beginning of an expanded global industry collaboration led by CUBE and supported by five leading banks, with others expected to join over the coming year. This will enable broader collaboration in all areas of financial services compliance and risk.
According to CUBE’s founder and CEO, Ben Richmond, the acquisition is a significant step forward in how financial services firms across the globe can take a truly integrated approach to their compliance and risk management:
“The work that Acin’s been doing to enable industry benchmarking is also the perfect platform for the start of CUBE’s industry-wide collaboration initiative.
It’s a first for the industry, and we see a significant opportunity for firms to reduce costs and make better, faster decisions.
What was once siloed knowledge can become collective intelligence for improving compliance and risk effectiveness industry-wide.”
Paul Ford, Founder of Acin, said:
“Acin has seen first-hand the shared commitment of addressing operational risk from leaders within the industry.
By joining forces with CUBE, our platform will continue to grow and deliver even greater value to both our existing customers and CUBE’s global client base, while shaping the future of our industry.”
CUBE has more than doubled its revenue in the last year, now serves 1,000 customers globally, and has significantly grown its global team to 700 employees across 20 countries. It acquired Thomson Reuters Regulatory Intelligence and Oden businesses and RegRoom in 2024.
In May 2025, CUBE opened its new global headquarters in the City of London and announced a commitment to create 200 jobs over the next 12 months, with half of these positions expected to be based in the UK.
