Company profile
researched Aug 2026Blanco provides a white-labeled, plug-and-play wealth management platform for wealth and asset managers, built around two product lines. The Blanco KYC & Compliance Suite handles client onboarding, client data collection, storage and ongoing management, while the Blanco Investment Suite covers portfolio management, reporting and securities administration. Both are presented as AML and MiFID compliant.
The KYC & Compliance Suite is organized into three modules. Client Onboarding supports onboarding of both natural persons and legal entities, bespoke client surveys and questionnaires, identification and verification via passport scan, liveness check and derived identification, screening against adverse media, PEP and global sanction lists, and contract generation and signing through e-identity methods including SMS, iDEAL, iDIN and ITSME. It can also be used to reassess and update existing client data. The Financial Investment Plan module captures a client's financial situation, investment goals and risk appetite, including suitability assessment, a MiFID risk assessment using risk-weighted questionnaire answers based on a scientific model, built-in Monte Carlo simulations to estimate the probability of meeting investment objectives, automatic generation of goal-based investment proposals, and linking to a firm's proprietary model portfolios. The Client File module offers extended CRM functionality, AML client classification with reassessment notifications, an evidence-based audit trail for regulators, continuous adverse media, PEP and sanctions screening, contract creation and closure, a product-relationship structure linking clients to their products, and scheduled notifications and tasks.
Alongside the software, Blanco offers expert services: implementation guidance, assessment of compliance documentation and procedures, support with the implementation of rules and regulations, help with license applications, guidance through the ISAE 3402 certification process, and — in combination with the Securities Administration module — outsourcing of securities operations such as reconciliation and corporate actions.
Business model
Blanco licenses its wealth management platform to financial firms on a white-labeled basis, positioning itself as a supplier rather than a competitor to its clients. It publishes pricing for the KYC & Compliance Suite and onboards customers through a digital sign-up flow that ends in a digitally signed contract and online payment details. Software is complemented by paid expert services such as compliance advice, license application support, ISAE 3402 certification guidance and outsourced securities operations.

Market position
Blanco emphasizes that its technology is fully white-labeled and that it never competes with its clients. It frames its approach as a combination of technology and people rather than technology alone, pairing an intuitive user interface with expert advisory services on regulation, licensing and certification. Product positioning centers on reducing KYC procedures from days to minutes while remaining AML and MiFID compliant, and on offering both self-service and full-service options to end clients within a single solution.
Technology
The platform is fully cloud-based and API-enabled for integration with other systems, accessible through desktop, mobile and tablet, and customizable to the client's own look and feel. Onboarding uses a connection to the Chamber of Commerce database for company data, passport scanning, liveness checks and derived identification, screening against adverse media, PEP and global sanction lists, and e-identity signing via SMS, iDEAL, iDIN, ITSME or E-Identity. Accounts use email and password with two-factor authentication. Additional capabilities include Monte Carlo simulations for investment goal probability, AML client classification and an evidence-based audit trail.
Go-to-market
Blanco markets directly through its website, with separate product pages, published pricing and customer use cases, and runs prospective clients through its own onboarding software as a demonstration of the product experience. A five-step self-service sign-up covers account creation, company information via a Chamber of Commerce lookup, legal structure and beneficiary data with ID verification, a product-fit questionnaire, and digital contract signing and payment, with a 30-day window to complete. A named commercial contact (CCO Wilfred van Roosmalen) is provided for questions, and customer support runs through email and a support portal.
