SEALSQ's Swiss RegTech Subsidiary Wecan Group Wins the RegTech Award at L'AGEFI AM Tech Day 2026 in Paris
Geneva, Switzerland , Nov. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Wecan was recognized for its AI-native client lifecycle platform, supporting SEALSQ’s strategy to expand applications for its security technologies in financial services
SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today announced that its Geneva-based RegTech subsidiary, Wecan Group (“Wecan”), has won the RegTech Award “Augmented Compliance & Cybersecurity” at the AM Tech Day Awards. L'AGEFI organized the awards, and the ceremony took place on November 3, 2026 at the Palais Brongniart in Paris during AM Tech Day, the leading annual event on technology in asset management.
The award recognizes Wecan AI-native platform for managing the entire client lifecycle: onboarding, document intelligence, screening, periodic reviews, perpetual KYC and regulatory monitoring. Designed for banks, asset managers, external asset managers (EAMs), fintechs and insurers, the platform brings these activities into a single compliance workflow. For SEALSQ, Wecan provides a platform for integrating its security technologies into financial institutions’ day-to-day operations.
Agentic AI that can be audited
Wecan's Compliance Copilot uses AI agents to run compliance workflows from start to finish. It reads and pre-fills documentation in the format each institution expects. It also automates checks and reviews that teams used to do by hand. Every action can be traced and audited, so institutions keep full control and can show regulators exactly how each decision was made. The result is a large gain in operational efficiency and a much smoother experience for end clients, who no longer have to give the same information again and again.
Building on SEALSQ's technologies
Wecan is also integrating technologies from the SEALSQ group into its platform, to strengthen post-quantum cybersecurity, decentralized digital identity and digital signatures across compliance workflows. Combining agentic compliance with post-quantum security and trusted identity positions Wecan as the compliance layer of a sovereign, quantum-resistant trust infrastructure for individuals, companies and connected objects. This integration is intended to connect Wecan’s client lifecycle capabilities with SEALSQ’s security technologies, creating opportunities to address a broader range of financial institutions’ compliance, identity and data-protection needs.
“Wecan’s strategic value to SEALSQ extends beyond this award: it gives us a platform for bringing our security technologies into the daily workflows of financial institutions,” said Carlos Moreira, Founder, Chairman & CEO of SEALSQ. “Our objective is to translate that integration into commercial opportunities by combining Wecan’s compliance capabilities with SEALSQ’s post-quantum security, digital identity and digital signature technologies. We see an opportunity to deepen customer relationships and broaden the solutions we can offer as institutions modernize their compliance systems and prepare for quantum-related security risks.”
"This award recognizes the work of an outstanding team. Our ambition is simple: compliance should be perpetual, built in and invisible to the client, not a periodic burden. With our Copilot, financial institutions can orchestrate the entire client lifecycle with agentic AI while keeping full auditability. Being recognized in Paris, alongside the leading names in asset management, shows that the market is ready for this shift," said Vincent Pignon, Founder & CEO of Wecan.
