This combination strengthens Objectway’s long-standing relationships with shared clients such as BNP Paribas, while expanding its footprint across additional leading financial institutions. It offers a portfolio of FinTech and RegTech solutions spanning end-to-end securities processing, retail brokerage and risk management. Complementing its software offering, SLIB also delivers a full range of professional services, helping clients implement, operate and continuously evolve their technology platforms.Objectway’s platform today supports institutions across the distribution and manufacturing of investment services — from client lifecycle management, advisory and portfolio management, to core banking, securities back-office and fund administration — for wealth management, private banking and asset management clients across EMEA and Canada.The acquisition of SLIB will extend Objectway’s coverage of the investment services value chain into the trading and execution layer of capital markets, adding front-to-back securities processing, clearing, settlement and risk management capabilities. Combined, the two businesses will support clients across the full financial services value chain end-to-end, reinforcing Objectway’s proposition for institutions seeking a strategic solution partner. The transaction will also broaden Objectway’s client base and operational footprint in France, while extending presence into the Iberian Peninsula through SLIB’s established hub in Lisbon, and creating opportunities for further strategic partnerships with international financial institutions across other leading European financial hubs.“The financial services industry has entered a phase where growth depends on the ability to combine innovation with scalability. Institutions are seeking partners that not only modernise technology and operations but also orchestrate business capabilities enabling them to scale. This acquisition project reflects our long-term strategy to broaden our expertise, strengthen our pan-European presence and help clients navigate increasing complexity while creating the foundations for sustainable growth,”Luigi Marciano, Founder and Group CEO of Objectway“The true value of an acquisition lies in the successful combination of people, expertise and shared ambitions. Our focus is on creating one integrated team that builds on the strengths of both organisations to provide continuity for existing clients and preserve the trusted relationships established over the years.”Alain Pochet, Chairman of SLIB, and Philippe Ruault, CEO of SLIB, who has successfully led SLIB to date, will both remain with the business following completion.

Objectway shares our commitment to long-term relationships and technical excellence, and I am confident this combination will accelerate our growth ambitions,”Alain Pochet, Chairman of SLIB“Joining Objectway is a natural next step for SLIB. It allows us to offer our clients an even broader range of capabilities while keeping the same team, the same expertise and the same level of proximity they have always relied on.
