What Capco does

Capco is a global management and technology consultancy specializing in the financial services and energy industries, headquartered in London and operating across 34+ offices in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North America, and South America. Founded in 1996, the firm serves enterprise clients including retail and digital banks, broker-dealers, exchanges, insurers, wealth and asset managers, utilities, and energy companies through five vertical practices: Banking & Payments, Capital Markets, Insurance, Wealth & Asset Management, and Energy. Its core offerings span strategy, technology and engineering, cloud, cybersecurity, data and analytics, financial crime and risk, product and experience, emerging technology, and transformation services, with an AI Infused service umbrella covering strategic AI advisory, agentic data management, AI-powered legacy modernization, and responsible AI deployment.

The firm has invested in proprietary AI solutions and a dedicated AI Labs organization. Capco's UK AI Lab developed Sentra, an AI-powered retail banking platform using digital twin technology that won the OpenAI Codex Hackathon in 2026, and the firm offers the iKYC compliance solution designed to compress KYC timelines from weeks to minutes, ADMT/CPRA AI governance workflows built with OneTrust, and the PowerOptix energy optimization partnership with Hartigen. Capco is an early OpenAI strategic partner since 2025 and received the AI Governance & Risk Excellence Award at the OpenAI Partner Summit 2026. The firm publishes research through Capco Intelligence and the Capco Institute covering topics including T+1 settlement, embedded insurance, bionic underwriting, and capital markets transformation.

Capco has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wipro Limited since 2021, when Wipro acquired the firm for $1.45 billion to deepen its financial services consulting depth. As a Wipro company, Capco operates as an independent brand while leveraging Wipro's global delivery infrastructure, technology platforms, and broader client relationships. Revenue is generated through professional services fees on an engagement-by-engagement basis via direct enterprise field sales, with no publicly disclosed standalone revenue figures, pricing models, or named client logos.
