Brussels, Belgium. Freedom24 has won two honours at the 2026 FinTech Awards for its pan-European retail investment platform and its artificial intelligence-powered compliance technology, the company announced this week. The European subsidiary of Freedom Holding Corp. was recognised for its Tradernet platform and its Neo Compliance framework.
Awards recognition
Freedom24 received the Best Pan-European Retail Investment Platform 2026 award for its proprietary Tradernet platform and its presence across the European Union. It also won the AI in Finance Innovation Award 2026 for its Neo Compliance framework.
The awards were presented by Wealth & Finance International, which said the honours recognise companies driving innovation in financial technology. Winners were selected based on expertise, performance and measurable impact within their respective markets.
Company strategy
The recognition was accompanied by an interview with Freedom24 chief executive Evgenii Tiapkin, who discussed the company’s technology strategy and long-term ambitions in Europe.
Neo Compliance development
According to the company, the Neo Compliance framework was developed to address a major challenge facing European brokerages by maintaining regulatory standards while expanding across multiple jurisdictions.
The system has been developed since 2024 by a team of more than 200 engineers and has progressed through four development phases.
Freedom24 said the framework replaces traditional linear compliance processes with a network of specialised artificial intelligence agents. The company said these agents can analyse source-of-funds documentation from more than 80 countries, assess customer risk profiles and monitor client transactions in near real time.
The company said artificial intelligence now completes around 95 per cent of preparatory compliance work, while qualified compliance officers continue to make all final decisions. It added that document verification times have been reduced from days to minutes, while transaction monitoring has expanded from selective sampling to comprehensive oversight across the client base.
“The right way to think about financial technology in a regulated environment is as an operating layer that solves real problems within a controlled framework,” Tiapkin said.
