Capgemini announced it has acquired 100% of the share capital of Delta Capita BV and its fully owned subsidiary, Delta Capita Academy BV. Delta Capita Group’s Netherlands-based subsidiary specializes in Financial Crime Compliance (FCC) services.
This deal, which is Capgemini’s second in 18 months in the FCC space, will position the Group as the global partner of choice for KYC and FCC transformation. And it strengthens Capgemini’s European offerings in financial crime, risk management and regulatory compliance services, complementing its already strong capabilities in Romania, Poland, India and the UK.
Based in the Netherlands, Delta Capita BV and its fully owned subsidiary Delta Capita Academy BV comprise a team of 200+ KYC analysts and consultants all accustomed to operating within complex legal and regulatory frameworks. The team helps clients to take a strategic approach to regulation, specializing in Know Your Customer, anti-bribery & corruption, and risk management policy and control frameworks. Its client roster includes major banks, insurers and pension firms, all highly complementary to Capgemini’s.
The team’s expertise, combined with its multilingual capabilities, will enable Capgemini to provide first, second, and third-line defense advisory and managed services capabilities in FCC. Notably, this will allow Capgemini to meet growing demand among its European financial services clients for complex and standard regulatory services and Dutch pension legislation.
