Flanks Named Best Supplier for Client Reporting Technology in Europe at the PWM Wealth Tech Awards 2026

April 24, 2026

London, April 2026: Flanks has been recognised as the Best Supplier for Client Reporting Technology in Europe at the PWM Wealth Tech Awards 2026, hosted in London by Professional Wealth Management (PWM), a publication of the Financial Times Group.

The award recognises the outstanding innovation that is pushing the wealth management industry forward — specifically, technology that enhances client experience and drives operational excellence. Winners are selected by an independent panel of senior experts from across global wealth management, technology, and finance.

What the award recognises

The PWM Wealth Tech Awards assess private banks, wealth managers, multi-family offices, and suppliers worldwide. Institutions and suppliers are evaluated on how their technology is reshaping business models, driving growth, supporting advisers, and improving the client experience — with a judging process grounded in both qualitative and quantitative evidence.

Being named Best Supplier for Client Reporting Technology in Europe means one thing in clear terms: wealth managers across Europe are getting reporting that is faster, more reliable, and more actionable than ever before.

Why client reporting matters more than ever

Reporting is often treated as the final step in the advisory process. But as Flanks CEO Joaquim De la Cruz puts it:

"As the last step in client engagement, reporting can act as a key differentiator."

In a market where clients are increasingly sophisticated and expectations are rising, the ability to present complex, multi-custodian wealth data as clear, structured, and personalised reporting is no longer a nice-to-have. It is a competitive advantage.

The challenge is getting there. Advisors typically face fragmented data across dozens of financial institutions, inconsistent formats, and the manual work required to reconcile everything before a single report can be produced. That is time that should be spent on clients — not on spreadsheets.

Flanks solves this at the infrastructure level. By aggregating, validating, and enriching wealth data automatically across 600+ connections with financial institutions in 33 countries, Flanks delivers the clean, structured data layer that powers high-quality client reporting at scale.

Recognition that reflects real impact

This award follows a period of strong momentum for Flanks, which in 2026 also ranked #59 in Europe on the FT1000 list of fastest-growing companies and #4 in Fintech, Financial Services & Insurance across the continent. Earlier this year, Flanks CEO Joaquim De la Cruz was named Rising Star Under 40 at the WealthBriefing European Awards 2026.

These recognitions reflect the same underlying reality: wealth management firms are choosing Flanks because the data infrastructure works — and the results are visible to their clients.
