Droit

What Droit does

Droit is a New York-based RegTech company founded in 2012 that builds computational law technology for capital markets compliance. Its core product is the Adept Platform, a patented regulatory compliance engine that interprets complex regulations and applies controls in real time to support pre-trade compliance decisioning, post-trade reporting, and transaction reporting for major global financial institutions. The platform reportedly processes tens of millions of regulatory inquiries daily and traces each decision back to source regulatory text for audit purposes. In January 2026 the company launched Decision Decoder, an AI-powered explainability module that combines large language models with Droit's expert-curated regulatory knowledge models to deliver citation-backed explanations of compliance decisions.

Droit operates an enterprise SaaS model, selling direct subscriptions to large financial institutions through field sales. Go-to-market is concentrated in tier-1 banks and capital markets firms, supported by an API-first delivery architecture that embeds compliance into trading workflows. Strategic investors including Goldman Sachs, UBS, Wells Fargo, and Pivot Investment Partners have participated in funding rounds, providing both capital and potential customer relationships. Following its acquisition by FIS (Fidelity National Information Services), Droit's products have been rebranded within the FIS Capital Markets Compliance Suite — FIS ETD Reporting, FIS Pre-Trade Compliance, and FIS Trade & Transaction Reporting — and the company operates with offices in New York (headquarters) and Singapore, with European expansion underway.

The company's revenue model is subscription-based, recurring revenue tied to platform access. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, consistent with enterprise-scale contracts negotiated directly with large financial institutions. Customer concentration is high, with the addressable market limited to organizations operating regulated trading and reporting workflows. The technology differentiator is the computational law approach: rather than pattern-matching transactions against post-hoc rules, Adept encodes regulations as executable logic and applies them at decision time, reducing misinterpretation risk and supporting both pre-trade controls and post-trade regulatory submissions across multiple jurisdictions.

Direct peers

• NICE Actimize: Established trade surveillance, anti-money laundering, and regulatory reporting platform for capital markets and banking. Directly competes with Droit's Adept on pre-trade decisioning and post-trade reporting for the same global FI buyer base.
• Clausematch: RegTech platform focused on regulatory compliance management, policy mapping, and controls testing for financial institutions. Overlaps with Droit's regulatory taxonomy/rules-mapping value proposition for compliance teams at large FIs.
• SteelEye: Compliance surveillance and regulatory reporting platform for financial firms covering trade, communications, and transaction reporting. Direct overlap with Droit's transaction reporting and surveillance-adjacent workflows.
• Suade: RegTech specializing in regulatory data standards and automated reporting (e.g., BCBS 239, Dodd-Frank). Comparable to Droit's ETD Reporting and Trade & Transaction Reporting for cross-jurisdictional reporting automation.
• Behavox: AI-driven compliance and surveillance platform for conduct risk, communications monitoring, and trade surveillance. Comparable to Droit on the AI/compliance intersection for major financial institutions.
• Catelas: Compliance analytics and trade surveillance provider using AI to detect misconduct and market abuse. Overlaps with Droit's surveillance and pre-trade decisioning capabilities for capital markets clients.
• Vizor Software: Regulatory reporting software for financial institutions, including cross-border prudential and statistical reporting. Comparable to Droit's Trade & Transaction Reporting and ETD Reporting offerings.

Emerging players

• Fenergo: Client lifecycle management and KYC/AML onboarding platform for financial institutions. Adjacent to Droit's pre-trade compliance stack, which aggregates KYC, sanctions, and account checks before trading.

Broad incumbents

• Bloomberg Regulatory Reporting: Bloomberg's enterprise regulatory reporting solutions sit within its broader data, trading, and analytics platform. A broad incumbent competitor to Droit in transaction reporting for the same global FI customers.
• LSEG (Refinitiv) Regulatory Reporting: Refinitiv (now part of LSEG) provides trade and transaction reporting infrastructure used by major sell-side firms. Broad incumbent competitor to Droit's reporting and reconciliation capabilities.
