The Center for Financial Professionals (CeFPro™) named Wolters Kluwer FRR #1 in Regulatory Reporting, as part of its 2021 FinTech Leaders report, with the results based on its highly regarded end-user based industry survey. Bobsguide named Wolters Kluwer’s OneSumX for FRR its Best Regulatory Reporting System, based on its assessment of the “strength of tech updates and their impact on the client experience.” Finance Monthly magazine, meanwhile, named the company both RegTech Firm of the Year and Regulatory Reporting Firm of the Year in its hotly contested FinTech Awards, 2021, with these awards decided by its expert editorial panel.
