Freedom24 has received two major honours at the 2026 FinTech Awards, highlighting the company’s growing presence in European investment services and its increasing focus on artificial intelligence.
Recognition For Platform And AI Innovation
The European subsidiary of Freedom Holding Corp. was named Best Pan-European Retail Investment Platform 2026 for its proprietary Tradernet platform and its expanding presence across the European Union. It also received the AI in Finance Innovation Award 2026 for its Neo Compliance framework.

Presented by Wealth & Finance International, the awards recognise companies that demonstrate innovation, operational excellence and measurable impact across the financial technology sector.
Modernising Compliance With AI
According to Freedom24, Neo Compliance was developed to help manage increasingly complex regulatory requirements across multiple European markets. Since development began in 2024, more than 200 engineers have worked on the platform, which replaces traditional compliance workflows with specialised AI agents.
The system can analyse source-of-funds documentation from more than 80 countries, assess customer risk profiles and monitor transactions in near real time. Freedom24 said AI now completes around 95% of preparatory compliance work, while final decisions remain with qualified compliance officers.
The company added that document verification has been reduced from days to minutes, while transaction monitoring now covers the entire client base instead of relying on selective sampling.
AI As Part Of A Broader Strategy
Chief executive Evgenii Tiapkin said the company sees AI as a core operating layer rather than simply another technology feature.
“The right way to think about financial technology in a regulated environment is as an operating layer that solves real problems within a controlled framework,” he said.
That approach also shapes how responsibilities are divided between AI and human specialists, including within the company’s multilingual AI Assistant.
“AI handles the high-volume, low-risk cognitive load,” Tiapkin said. “Humans decide wherever outcomes meaningfully affect risk, regulation or client capital.”
Looking Beyond Brokerage
Freedom24 says developing its technology entirely in-house allows it to introduce new features more quickly while maintaining control over compliance and product development.
Looking ahead, the company plans to expand beyond brokerage through the Freedom SuperApp, which combines banking, payments, investing, insurance and lifestyle services. It is also exploring the possibility of obtaining a European banking licence, with Portugal, Romania and the Czech Republic identified among its priority expansion markets.
For Freedom24, the two awards reflect a broader strategy of using proprietary technology and AI-driven automation to strengthen its position in Europe’s increasingly competitive investment services market.
