Innovation presentation

From regulatory burden to strategic advantage. RegAhead is transforming how novobanco engages with regulation—turning dense, complex legal updates into clear, timely, and actionable insights. More than a platform, it represents a cultural shift: from reactive compliance to proactive empowerment. Co-created with Zango.ai, a regtech pioneer, RegAhead was tailored to novobanco’s specific regulatory context and operational needs. It empowers teams across the bank to make confident decisions, supported by real-time guidance and AI-driven interpretation. Its modular, scalable architecture integrates seamlessly into existing ecosystems and is already reshaping how novobanco prepares for regulatory meetings, analyzes documentation, and anticipates change. Key innovation pillars: • AI-Driven Regulatory Intelligence: Uses LLMs and Visual Language Models to identify and interpret relevant legislation, extract key dates, and generate human-readable summaries. • Smart Prioritization: Automatically classifies regulatory items by severity and relevance, enabling better resource allocation. • Integrated Copilot Chatbot: A real-time assistant trained on internal and external sources, answering regulatory questions with precision and context. • Proactive Outlook: Analyzes publications from law firms and regulators to forecast trends and upcoming risks. • Built to Scale: Modular design supports expansion across jurisdictions and continuous feature evolution. RegAhead is not just a tool—it’s a strategic asset that turns regulatory burden into competitive advantage.

Voices from the journey: “Working with novobanco was a highly collaborative experience. They were transparent about their existing challenges and internal processes, which allowed us to deeply understand their workflow and identify meaningful areas for improvement. Together, we built a solution that streamlines the identification of regulatory changes and clarifies the required actions to remain compliant. We expect this to significantly reduce the time novobanco spends reviewing alerts and managing compliance tasks—ultimately saving the team considerable effort and enabling them to focus on higher-value work.” — Ritesh Singhania, CEO & Co-founder @ Zango.ai “Working with the new regulatory screening platform has been a dynamic journey of collaboration and continuous improvement. While challenges naturally arise, we’re addressing them together, expecting gains in screening efficiency, faster severity classification of applicable regulations, easier understanding of obligations, and greater clarity around compliance tasks. The Zango.ai team has been consistently supportive and responsive, always seeking to learn with novobanco experience, developing the solution and incorporating enhancements proposed by us.” — Rita Robalo, Regulatory Affairs Lead @ novobanco
