Aspagnul was born from a clear vision: to bridge the critical gap between advanced artificial intelligence and the specialized needs of the financial sector. Founded in August 2024, our company emerged when we recognized that financial institutions struggled to implement AI solutions that truly understood their unique regulatory requirements, operational challenges, and strategic objectives.
Our Barcelona headquarters was deliberately chosen for its vibrant tech ecosystem and strategic European location, placing us at the intersection of innovation and traditional finance. While our physical presence anchors our identity, our distributed expertise model allows us to engage the most exceptional talent worldwide, regardless of geography.
What began as focused support for Spanish fintech ventures quickly expanded across Europe as financial institutions recognized our unique approach. In our first three months, we successfully deployed custom AI fraud detection systems for a leading digital bank, reducing false positives by 40% while maintaining regulatory compliance.Â
By December 2024, we will have completed our first major implementation for a traditional banking institution, transforming their KYC processes through intelligent automation. In February 2025, we achieved ISO 27001 certification, demonstrating our commitment to security standards essential for financial operations.
Most recently, in April 2025, we expanded our services to investment firms across Central Europe, marking our evolution into a comprehensive financial AI partner.
Mission Statement: We deliver practical, fast, compliance-first AI and custom technology solutions exclusively for the financial sector, transforming operations through purpose-built intelligence.
Exceptional technology requires exceptional organization. Every engagement follows clear methodologies and transparent communication, ensuring clients always understand exactly what we’re building, why it matters, and how it progresses.
Financial services demand concrete outcomes, not theoretical improvements. Every solution we develop comes with specific performance metrics and business impact expectations, allowing precise measurement of value delivered.
Generic AI solutions fail in financial environments. Our specialists combine deep domain knowledge with technical excellence, creating solutions that truly understand the nuanced requirements of financial operations and regulations.
Technology serves people, not the reverse. We build partnerships based on a genuine understanding of client challenges, collaborative problem-solving, and respect for the human experts who will ultimately work with our solutions.
Our project approach reflects years of specialized experience in financial technology implementation, refined into a deliberate process that ensures consistent results across diverse engagements. This methodology provides both the structure that financial institutions require and the flexibility to address unique challenges.

Aspagnul’s distributed expertise model represents a strategic advantage that traditional consulting firms cannot match. Rather than limiting talent to a single location, we maintain a carefully selected network of world-class specialists across AI development, financial operations, regulatory compliance, and system integration.
This approach allows us to assemble the perfect team based on your specific financial subsector, technical requirements, and project scope for each engagement.
A cryptocurrency exchange requires fundamentally different expertise than a traditional bank or investment firm—our model ensures you work with specialists who truly understand your specific challenges.
The distributed model provides unmatched flexibility to scale teams based on project phases and requirements, ensuring efficient resource allocation while maintaining the specialized capabilities essential for financial technology excellence.
This approach delivers both the focused expertise of boutique firms and the comprehensive capabilities of larger consultancies.
Maintaining security across distributed teams requires sophisticated infrastructure and rigorous protocols. Our development environments implement end-to-end encryption for all communications, secure access controls with multi-factor authentication, and isolated development environments for client projects.
Regular security audits by independent firms verify protocol effectiveness, while comprehensive logging enables complete visibility into all system activities.
These measures ensure client data receives the highest level of protection regardless of where team members operate.
All solutions undergo rigorous testing specifically designed for financial applications, including security assessment, performance validation, and compliance verification.
Specialized quality assurance ensures all solutions satisfy applicable financial regulations across jurisdictions, with comprehensive documentation suitable for examinations.
Thorough verification of connections with existing financial systems, ensuring reliable data exchange and process integration across complex environments.
Solutions undergo simulated peak load scenarios exceeding anticipated requirements to ensure reliable operation under all conditions.
Structured testing with actual users validates both functionality and usability in real-world financial operations.
Our engagement model emphasizes continuous collaboration throughout the project lifecycle:
Deep understanding of business objectives and challenges
Collaborative architecture development and requirement refinement
Regular demonstrations and feedback integration
Coordinated deployment minimizing operational disruption
Measurement against defined success metrics
Continuous enhancement based on evolving requirements
Aspagnul’s distributed expert model represents a deliberate talent strategy to access specialized capabilities unavailable in traditional consulting structures. Rather than limiting expertise to a single location, we engage exceptional professionals globally, creating flexible teams perfectly matched to each client’s requirements.
This approach enables rapid scaling based on project demands, with specialized experts joining engagements when their specific capabilities deliver maximum value.
The result is superior technical outcomes and more efficient resource utilization compared to traditional staffing models.
We balance this distributed approach with structured collaboration that maintains consistent quality and team cohesion.
Our specialists enjoy the flexibility and comfort of working from their preferred locations, while our project framework ensures clear daily objectives, regular team connections, and consistent communication. This modern approach creates exceptional work environments for our talent and superior outcomes for our clients.

Our rigorous expert selection process ensures only exceptional specialists join client engagements:
Validation of financial sector understanding and regulatory awareness
Our engagement model precisely assembles the right team for each client’s needs rather than forcing standardized structures. This tailored approach begins with carefully analyzing your financial subsector, technical requirements, organizational context, and project scope.
For each engagement, we identify the optimal combination of specialists—from machine learning engineers and financial domain experts to security specialists and integration consultants—based on the required capabilities.
This targeted allocation ensures you work with professionals who understand your unique challenges rather than generalists attempting to cover diverse requirements.
The team composition evolves throughout the project lifecycle, with different specialists engaging during discovery, development, implementation, and optimization phases as their specific expertise becomes most valuable.
This flexible approach delivers both exceptional quality and efficient resource utilization.
At Aspagnul, we believe that implementing transformative financial technology requires true partnership rather than transactional relationships. Our engagement approach emphasizes deep understanding of your business challenges, collaborative problem-solving, and sustained commitment to your success beyond initial implementation.
This partnership philosophy manifests in several specific ways: we invest significant time understanding your organization before proposing solutions; we maintain transparent communication throughout engagements, including both progress and challenges; we transfer knowledge to your team rather than creating dependency; and we provide ongoing support and enhancement long after initial implementation.
We measure success not by project completion but by actual business impact and your team’s ability to leverage new capabilities effectively. This approach has created lasting relationships with financial institutions across Europe, with most engagements evolving into multi-year partnerships that deliver continuing value as business needs and market conditions change.
Our clients consistently cite this partnership approach as a key differentiator compared to traditional vendor relationships, particularly in a sector where deep understanding of specific business context and regulatory requirements proves essential for successful technology implementation.
Aspagnul’s technical approach leverages advanced AI frameworks and development methodologies specifically optimized for financial applications. Rather than applying generic technologies that fail to address the unique challenges of financial environments, our solutions incorporate specialized capabilities aligned with specific financial functions.
Our core technology stack includes advanced machine learning frameworks enhanced with financial-specific extensions, natural language processing optimized for financial terminology and document structure, secure integration architectures designed for financial systems, and specialized visualization approaches for complex financial information.
This technology foundation continuously evolves through both proprietary development and careful evaluation of emerging capabilities, ensuring our solutions incorporate the most effective approaches while maintaining the reliability essential for financial operations. The result is technology that truly understands financial context—from regulatory requirements to operational workflows to data sensitivity.
While implementation details vary based on specific client requirements, our technology approach consistently delivers both the sophisticated capabilities needed for transformative impact and the stability, security, and explainability financial institutions require.
Financial technology requires comprehensive compliance with regulatory frameworks spanning data protection, security standards, and industry-specific requirements. Our approach integrates compliance considerations throughout the development process rather than treating them as afterthoughts or obstacles.
Aspagnul maintains full certification with critical standards including SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and GDPR, with regular independent audits verifying our adherence to these frameworks. Our most recent SOC 2 Type II audit completed in April 2025 confirmed our controls satisfaction, with coverage extending until the next scheduled assessment.
Beyond these baseline certifications, our implementations incorporate financial industry-specific compliance requirements appropriate to each client’s regulatory context. This includes framework-specific expertise in banking regulations, investment requirements, insurance standards, and emerging fintech guidance across European jurisdictions.
This compliance-by-design approach ensures solutions satisfy regulatory requirements without compromising functionality or user experience, creating technology that regulators approve and users embrace.
Effective financial technology requires seamless connection with existing systems and infrastructure. Our integration capabilities span all major financial platforms, including core banking systems (Temenos, FIS, Finastra), investment platforms (BlackRock Aladdin, SimCorp, Charles River), payment infrastructures (SWIFT, SEPA, card networks), market data providers (Bloomberg, Refinitiv, FactSet), and regulatory reporting systems.
Beyond these standard connections, we maintain expertise in specialized financial protocols, legacy system integration, and custom API development for proprietary platforms. This comprehensive integration capability ensures solutions work effectively within your existing technology landscape rather than creating additional silos or friction points.
Each integration implementation undergoes rigorous security assessment, performance validation, and failure testing to ensure reliable operation under all conditions. The result is seamless data flow and process coordination across diverse financial systems, creating truly unified operations rather than disconnected capabilities.
