Building the best investment infrastructure in Europe
Seccl is bringing its proven embedded investing platform to Europe – starting in Ireland.
We’re helping ambitious firms to launch faster, localise carefully and scale confidently across markets, while retaining control of the customer experience.
From UK proof to European potential
In the UK, Seccl has helped banks, fintechs and wealth firms build investment journeys that are fast, intuitive and embedded into the products their customers already use.
Now we’re seeing growing demand from existing customers – and from firms across Europe – for the same kind of modern, scalable investment infrastructure.
That’s why we’re extending Seccl into Europe: combining the technology and operating model we’ve proven in the UK with the local regulatory, operational and market expertise needed to support firms across the EEA.
Tech built for global scale
We’re not building a European platform from scratch. We’re extending the architecture, operating model and delivery discipline already proven in the UK – with the local configuration needed to support different markets properly.
-
Shared platform foundations
Seccl operates a single product and code base, with reusable platform capability that can be configured for different firms, propositions and markets – helping firms preserve familiar API patterns, benefit from a common platform roadmap and expand without creating bespoke versions market by market. -
Local configuration where it counts
The core mechanics of investment infrastructure are often similar across markets. But the local details still matter – from tax, reporting and currency to language, client data, wrappers and asset availability. Our approach is to localise where the market genuinely differs, while keeping the core platform model consistent.
-
Scalable operations by design
Seccl scales through automation, straight-through processing and operational control – not people-powered admin – helping firms move from launch volumes to larger customer bases, more transactions, more reporting obligations and more operational edge cases without adding unnecessary complexity. -
Built to keep improving
Our platform is modular, API-first and built for continuous change, so as customer needs, market requirements and regulation evolve, we can keep adding new features, wrappers, integrations and markets without forcing firms to rebuild their proposition each time.
First Ireland, then beyond
Ireland is our first planned European launch market and the foundation for our European expansion.
It’s also where one of Europe’s most interesting retail investing reforms is taking shape: the proposed Personal Investment Account (PIA).
The launch of the PIA in Ireland gives us a clear opportunity to extend our mission of helping more people to invest, and invest well. We want to make sure that the new wrapper is powered by the best technology possible, so that firms can make the most of the opportunity as soon as the market opens up.
Deep European expertise
Our European expansion is led by people who know the market, the regulation and the infrastructure challenge.
Ronan founded Conexim, an open-architecture investment platform that became one of Ireland’s largest before its acquisition by Irish Life Group. He is also a founder and former chair of the Irish MiFID Industry Association and sits on the Central Bank of Ireland’s Financial Industry Innovation Forum.
Miguel is an established financial services leader with deep expertise across European wealth, asset management and investment platforms. He was formerly group COO at M&G and chief transformation officer at Allfunds, as well as a partner at BCG.
Alix leads the product work behind Seccl’s European platform build. Previously group product manager for our custody tribe, she has spent the last two years shaping core platform capability across custody, operations and investment infrastructure. She brings more than nine years’ experience in high-growth product environments, with previous roles at Chip, Crowdcube, ikigai and King.
Proven in the UK. Ready for Europe.
Seccl already supports more than 925,000 investors and processes millions of transactions every month.
We’ve helped customer firms launch new propositions, migrate at scale and automate complex investment operations – from onboarding and money movement to trading, transfers, reporting and custody.
And we’re backed by Octopus, giving us the support, ambition and long-term perspective to build serious investment infrastructure for the future.
