Regnology, a German Regtech company, is set to acquire Wolters Kluwer's Financial Regulatory Reporting (FRR) unit.
Deutsche Bank has expanded its role in the European payments sector, launching card acquiring services for the leading European mobility platform, Bolt, across the European Union and the UK. The service, which became operational in April 2025, utilizes Silverflow's cloud-based payment infrastructure, making it possible for Bolt to process card transactions through Visa and Mastercard networks.
This collaboration is part of Deutsche Bank’s strategic efforts to strengthen and expand its European payment services. By leveraging Silverflow’s innovative cloud technology, Deutsche Bank provides the necessary regulatory framework and acts as the liaison with card schemes, facilitating efficient transaction settlement and payouts to Bolt.
The partnership modernizes card processing infrastructure and supports scalable, regulatory-compliant payment solutions for digital platforms, reflecting a broader industry shift towards cloud-based and efficient payment systems. Bolt benefits from a stable, scalable infrastructure that aligns perfectly with its growth ambitions.
Jüri Laur, Director of Product, Commerce at Bolt, commented that working with Deutsche Bank and Silverflow has significantly streamlined Bolt's payment operations across Europe and the UK. The collaboration has delivered a smoother payment experience for Bolt's customers.
The card acquiring solution is fully integrated with Visa and Mastercard's scheme infrastructure, with Deutsche Bank serving as the card acquirer, offering the regulatory framework required to process card transactions. The schemes settle funds with Deutsche Bank, which then handles payouts to Bolt.
This partnership between Deutsche Bank and Bolt is another milestone in Deutsche Bank's strategy to deliver modern, scalable, and regulatory-resilient payment solutions for platform businesses across Europe. It aligns with Deutsche Bank's recent partnership with Silverflow, aimed at modernizing card processing and enabling new acquiring models.
