What IntellectEU does

IntellectEU is a privately-held Belgian technology company, headquartered in Antwerp with offices in New York, Miami, and Lisbon, that delivers payment modernization and capital markets infrastructure solutions to global financial institutions. The company operates a Catalyst product suite comprising Catalyst Integration Manager for SWIFT network connectivity and ISO 20022 message transformations, CatalyX (Catalyst Blockchain Manager) for deploying and managing DLT networks including Canton, Hyperledger Fabric, Besu, Stellar, and EVM ecosystems, and the April 2026-launched Catalyst Data Intelligence, an AI-powered solution that converts unstructured postal address data into ISO 20022-compliant formats ahead of SWIFT's November 2026 mandate.

The company maintains premier-level governance positions in the Canton Foundation and Global Synchronizer Foundation, is a founding member of the Post-Quantum Cryptography Alliance, and serves as a Canton Network validator since January 2025.
