Smarbl

Smarbl sells regulatory reporting and regulatory intelligence platforms to banks and other financial institutions, with two named products at different places on the automation spectrum. SmartReg, the flagship, is a regulatory reporting automation platform built on pre configured business rules, validations and workflows bundled with a regulatory data model.

It ships returns for selected regulators across financial, capital, liquidity, credit quality, large exposure, statistical and transactional reporting, ingests compliance, anti money laundering, financial crime and risk data, and carries submissions through to the regulator with data lineage, reconciliations, approvals, oversight dashboards and audit trails. RegPRISM, launched in July 2025 and co developed with United Arab Bank, is an AI powered regulatory intelligence and compliance management platform that tracks regulatory change and extracts, interprets and routes the resulting obligations.

The company was founded in 2023, is registered in Abu Dhabi Global Market and runs product engineering in India. Chartis listed it in its RiskTech100 for 2026 and named SmartReg a leader in regulatory reporting. SmartReg is offered on cloud, on premises and hybrid deployments.

Capability Axes

Capability grades

15 of 15 axes rated · 6 graded A or B

AI Capability
AI Centrality
BB on AI CentralityThe models are the engine of a core capability, layered on a product that would still function without them as a rules or workflow system.
Vendor Published

SmartReg's rules, regulatory data model and submission are deterministic and would survive without models, while RegPRISM, the regulatory intelligence product, would not. Extracting an obligation from regulatory text and interpreting it is model work, so the newer product depends on AI while the flagship does not.

Autonomy and Oversight Model
BB on Autonomy and Oversight ModelA written commitment that the models work alongside human judgment, with real review surfaces, short of the full control structure: commonly the threshold at which the system stops or what happens after it is wrong.
Vendor Published

Validations, reconciliations and data quality checks run before a return is built, and approvals, errors and rejections move through a customizable workflow with oversight dashboards. Every control governs SmartReg, while RegPRISM's obligation extraction has no described reviewer step or confidence threshold.

Model Risk Management and Transparency
CC on Model Risk Management and TransparencyTransparency is claimed in general terms with no mechanism a model validator could interrogate.
Vendor Published

Obligation extraction is measurable, captured from the source text or not, yet no accuracy figure, benchmark or validation method is published for RegPRISM. Evidencing correctness is clearly understood on the deterministic side, yet none of it is published for the model side.

Operational and Outcome Evidence
BB on Operational and Outcome EvidenceVendor aggregate claims with real figures, or audited scale disclosures from a publicly listed company.
Vendor Published

United Arab Bank co developed RegPRISM and announced its July 2025 launch with its chief executive quoted. The homepage names no customer and leans on Chartis RiskTech100 and IDC recognition, which describes standing rather than results.

AI Safety and Data Stewardship
CC on AI Safety and Data StewardshipGeneral assurances that do not answer the question this axis asks, which is whether one customer’s data trains models serving its competitors. Unbounded cross client learning stated with no boundary grades here too.
Vendor Published

RegPRISM was shaped in part by a rival bank's compliance work, so a competing buyer gets something another institution helped build. What the bank contributed, whether it keeps an interest and whether one customer's obligation mappings reach another are not described.

Regulatory and Compliance
GLBA and Data Privacy Posture
CC on GLBA and Data Privacy PostureA standard privacy policy that covers the website rather than the service, or silence on a product that touches limited consumer data.
Vendor Published

The homepage and SmartReg page carry no privacy statement, retention rule or data handling commitment. Its data is mainly institutional supervisory material, though anti money laundering reporting identifies individuals under investigation.

Security Certifications and Trust Center
CC on Security Certifications and Trust CenterA single footer line, or certifications asserted without being enumerated, which is weaker than naming them because it invites an assumption a buyer cannot check.
Vendor Published

OAuth2 and SAML authentication and data encryption are described, with no certification, audit report or trust center named. Supervised banks open their third party risk reviews with exactly that question.

Regulatory Status and Licensure
BB on Regulatory Status and LicensureThe regulatory position is clearly stated and appropriate to the product, with part of the verification left to the buyer.
Vendor Published

Registration in Abu Dhabi Global Market, a financial free zone with its own regulator, is checkable, and pre configured returns must satisfy each supervisor's schema, submitted in formats including XBRL. No supervisor has examined or admitted RegPRISM.

AI Governance and Bias Disclosure
CC on AI Governance and Bias DisclosureResponsible artificial intelligence committed to in policy language with no evaluation behind it, on a product whose bias surface is modest.
Vendor Published

What RegPRISM surfaces determines what a compliance team believes the law requires, so coverage is the exposure rather than protected class discrimination. Coverage across regulators is untested in public, and no governance framework or independent assessment sits behind the AI driven label.

AI Liability and Recourse
CC on AI Liability and RecourseMechanisms that enable challenge, such as audit trails and source traceability, with nothing standing behind the output and no route for the person affected.
Vendor Published

Lineage, audit trails and logs let an institution trace how a return was built, but no accuracy warranty, service commitment or remedy is published. A filed return goes to a central bank in the institution's name, so a faulty template becomes the bank's supervisory problem, and RegPRISM carries the mirror risk of an obligation never surfaced.

Integration and Deployment
Model Supply Chain Disclosure
CC on Model Supply Chain DisclosureThe architecture is described and no provider is named.
Vendor Published

Provider, base model and hosting for RegPRISM are unnamed, and SmartReg is described only as built on open source technology. Choosing on premises for residency would mean little if RegPRISM calls an external model endpoint, and nothing says whether it does.

Core Systems and Integration Depth
CC on Core Systems and Integration DepthIntegration claimed through standards or connectors with no system named and nothing to verify.
Vendor Published

Data from core banking, risk and financial crime systems is ingested into the regulatory data model, and returns go out in regulator formats. Not one core banking, ledger or risk platform is named, and no connector catalog or developer documentation is published.

Deployment Model and Data Residency
BB on Deployment Model and Data ResidencyStated residency commitments or regional hosting options.
Vendor Published

Cloud, on premises and hybrid models are stated for SmartReg, with on premises named as the answer for data residency concerns. Hosting region and tenancy model are not listed, and cloud providers are described rather than named.

Commercial
Commercial Transparency
CC on Commercial TransparencyNo price is published and engagement runs through a demo form, which is the norm in this index.
Vendor Published

A demo request is the route to a number, with no rate card, tier ladder or billing basis published. Zero costs and lower capital spending through pre built reports give the direction of the argument but none of its magnitude.

Institution and Segment Coverage
BB on Institution and Segment CoverageNamed segments with dedicated material behind part of the coverage.
Vendor Published

Capital, liquidity and large exposure returns share one data model with anti money laundering reporting, covering much of what a bank files. Pre built returns exist for selected regulators, the named customer is in the United Arab Emirates, and global reach is a stated strategy rather than a footprint.
