Saphyre

What Saphyre does

Saphyre is a Hoboken, NJ-based fintech founded in 2017 by Gabino Roche Jr. that provides an AI-powered platform for digitizing pre-trade data and automating post-trade processes for global financial institutions. The platform serves over 75 major financial institutions — including buy-side firms (BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, LGIM, Capital Group, ABRDN, Ninety One, Jupiter, American Century), sell-side firms (J.P. Morgan, Citi, Deutsche Bank, Société Générale, Standard Chartered), and asset servicers (BNY Mellon, Northern Trust) — collectively managing more than $3 trillion in client assets. Saphyre's core technology is a patented memory-driven AI architecture protected by over 100 patents globally, which normalizes cross-institution nomenclature and maintains a continuously validated "golden source" of client reference data populated by 40+ top-tier financial institutions.

The product portfolio is organized as a platform-plus-modules suite. Saphyre1 handles account onboarding and lifetime management across KYC, tax, legal, credit, and operational setup workflows. SaphyreX, launched in 2024, extends coverage into post-trade processing including trade exception management, SSI issue resolution, and securities funding. Saphyre Aigent, launched in June 2025, is a multimodal AI agent that enables counterparty onboarding and data submission via email without portal access. Supporting modules include Broker Trading Account Management, Asset Servicer Account Management, Legal Agreement Management, SSI Issue Resolution, Trade Exception & Confirmation Management, and Securities Funding Management. The platform operates as a SOC2 Type II compliant service built on Microsoft Azure.

Saphyre operates a B2B enterprise SaaS subscription model with custom contract pricing, sold primarily through direct field sales globally with channel partnerships through major custodians (Northern Trust, BNY Mellon, Citi) and embedded integrations with platforms such as DTCC FICC, FXall (LSEG), 360T, and BlackRock Aladdin. The company has raised $88.7 million in total funding: a $18.7 million Series A in March 2022 led by HCAP Partners with participation from J.P. Morgan and BNP Paribas (HCAP exited in August 2025), followed by a $70 million growth equity round in July 2025 from FTV Capital. The company maintains operations across North America and EMEA (UK, Ireland, France, Switzerland, Singapore) and is led by founder Gabino Roche Jr. as CEO alongside President and co-founder Stephen Roche.
