investify TECH expands management board with RegTech specialists from Luxembourg

Published: 20.10.2020 | By investify

The technology and regulatory provider investify has expanded its board of directors with a prominent member. The supervisory authority CSSF must now approve the important personnel move.

Georges Bock, who worked at KPMG Luxembourg from 1991 to 2018 and has been a member of Governance.com’s management board since 2018, will further expand investify TECH’s RegTech expertise while at the same time using his extensive network to expand B2B activities at the company’s headquarters in Luxembourg. Georges Bock, who will continue in his role as Chief Strategy Officer at Governance.com, is pleased to have been approached by the Wasserbilliger experts for the digitalisation of the financial industry:

„investify has always been on my radar since its founding in 2015 because it was the first tech company with individual digital asset management and offered the first fully digital client onboarding in the market. The further development into a B2B partner for banks and financial service providers has been consistent and is already very successful in Germany thanks to first-class technology and an excellent reputation. Clients appreciate the both modular and holistic approach to various compliance solutions, from client onboarding to money laundering prevention to MiFID monitoring. investify serves an absolute future market, I find this exciting!“

New board of Directors at investify

investify has been able to announce well-known B2B cooperations in recent months – more will follow in the near future. Bock continues: “The business model is also complementary to the solutions we develop at Governance.com.” The appointment of Georges Bock underpins investify’s business strategy, where outsourcing activities to increase efficiency and reduce costs are becoming increasingly important alongside the provision of technology for the investment business.

Both companies are helping to put Luxembourg’s financial centre in a leading role in the digitalisation of the financial world. Christian Kratz, board member and member of the management board of investify, emphasises the excellent conditions for companies like investify in Luxembourg. A board of directors that understands the Luxembourg market is the logical consequence.

„Georges Bock will not only bring us forward in terms of content, but also support us in becoming stronger and putting down roots in Luxembourg. So far, all of our B2B customers still come from Germany.“

„Luxembourg has a few real gems in its FinTech scene with forward-looking business models. investify is one of them and has already proven the performance of its technology several times. The team has also convinced me, so I am very much looking forward to conquering the Luxembourg market together with investify.“
