We are Blanco. Your invisible force in WealthTech.

We believe it’s not only about technology. It’s about how our technology helps you and your clients.

Our manifesto

The world of finance is heading towards the future at dizzying speed. Techno-optimists are preaching the gospel of Artificial Intelligence. Digital technology is outperforming human skills and leads to​‘financial inclusion’: it increases efficiency, reduces complexity and lowers costs, making previously inaccessible financial services available to everyone and encouraging clients to demand more value for money.

That’s why we currently see a widely held conviction that humans will eventually be completely replaced by robots in finance. But at Blanco, we dare to think that ultimately, this won’t be the case. We believe that the human factor will always remain crucial in our industry. Self-driving cars still require a human in the driver’s seat for when things go haywire, don’t they?

At Blanco, we firmly believe in the symbiosis between mankind and machine. Technology brings efficiency and lowers costs, while people will always bring trust and empathy to the table. That’s why we’re developing a digital Wealth Management Platform that saves time and money by automating the entire wealth management cycle, including the KYC process, in a responsible and honest way. But client contact and the ultimate investment decisions are deliberately left in the responsibility of analog’ human hands. 

All this leads to financial inclusion: Blanco makes wealth & asset management services more accessible and easier than ever. In fact, Blanco helps wealth and asset managers to stay competitive in our tech-dominated future, because our technology sets you free to spend more time on your clients – and that is where the magic happens. Ultimately, it’s not about us or our technology. It’s about people: it’s about you and your clients.

We are Blanco. Your invisible force in WealthTech.

Company profile
