Our take
Spanish fintech company, Kantox helps corporations manage currency through automation. Founded by ex-Deloitte consultants, Kantox switched from being a currency exchange platform into a fully fledged automation and fintech software company.
Back in 2015, Kantox won the European Fintech Of The Year Award, thanks in part to its Dynamic Hedging software which manages hedging analytics, workflow, and reporting. In October 2022, investment bank BNP Paribas acquired Kantox for 120 million euros after three years of investment in the company - a shift in ownership that should bolster Kantox as markets continue to be turbulent.
