Zango has been recognised in the Portugal FinTech Report 2025, launched by Portugal Fintech in collaboration with KPMG, Visa and Morais Leitão.

The annual report spotlights the companies shaping Portugal’s fast-growing financial innovation ecosystem – from established banks and insurers to the new generation of AI-driven startups transforming compliance, payments and risk management.

AI-powered compliance highlighted among key 2025 trends

This year’s report identifies AI-driven RegTech as one of the most dynamic growth areas in Portugal’s fintech landscape, including the use of AI-driven applications to support compliance, regulatory interpretation, reporting, ESG disclosures and fraud detection.

As regulation intensifies across Europe – with the AI Act, MiCA and DORA all taking effect – financial institutions are accelerating adoption of domain-specific AI tools that improve regulatory interpretation, reporting and governance.

Zango and Novo Banco: horizon-scanning in practice

Within the report’s section on “The State of AI in Fintech”, Zango is featured for its work deploying specialised AI agents for compliance teams at leading financial institutions including Novo Banco.

These systems automate complex regulatory processes such as horizon scanning, gap analysis, and ongoing policy monitoring, while maintaining human oversight from Zango’s regulatory experts.

By combining explainable AI with expert validation, Zango helps compliance teams surface and assess relevant regulatory changes faster and with full auditability – enabling banks like Novo Banco to respond proactively to evolving supervisory expectations.

Building responsible AI infrastructure for financial services

Zango’s inclusion in the report reflects its role in advancing responsible and auditable AI across Europe’s financial-services sector. Our technology is designed to ensure transparency, accountability and continuous human-in-the-loop validation - aligning with the report’s emphasis on trust, explainability and governance as the cornerstones of sustainable AI adoption.

Portugal as a hub for AI and RegTech innovation

Portugal continues to strengthen its position as a European centre for financial and AI innovation. With strong technical talent, forward-looking regulation and growing international investment, Lisbon has become a natural home for scaling AI-powered compliance solutions. 

Zango’s expanding local team supports institutions across banking and insurance, helping them deploy AI confidently under the new European regulatory frameworks.
