Our take
A Spanish fintech company, Kantox helps corporations manage currency through automation. Founded by ex-Deloitte consultants, the company evolved from a simple currency exchange platform into a fully fledged automation and fintech software provider.
Kantox has won a number of industry awards over the year, thanks in part to its Dynamic Hedging software which manages hedging analytics, workflow, and reporting. In 2022, investment bank BNP Paribas acquired Kantox after three years of investment, bolstering its position through turbulent markets and now into the future.
