Becoming ‘the right partner’ for new firms in the industry
Ben Richmond, founder and CEO of CUBE, discussed the decision to acquire The Hub. Richmond said: “The acquisition of The Hub marks the first in what is expected to be a number of purposeful acquisitions for CUBE as a consolidator of regulatory compliance-focused firms and technologies in what is a highly fragmented regtech market. The Hub’s team and solutions are best in class and represent many synergies with CUBE’s own capabilities.
“The current macro environment creates uncertainties for newer, less proven market entrants so it is ever more important that customers can be confident in selecting the right partner to support their long-term regulatory compliance strategy. CUBE’s vision and proven track record as the category-defining regtech leader for ARI and strategic provider of choice to the world’s most highly regulated institutions gives customers assurance that CUBE is here to partner with them in the long term.”
Juned Jable, co-founder and CEO of The Hub, also added: “We are excited by this next phase in our journey. We have partnered with CUBE for some time and see this as a natural next step in more closely aligning both firms’ AI-driven regulatory technology. CUBE’s strategy will ensure Hub’s employees, customers and partners are in safe hands and will benefit from further investment from what is clearly now the undisputed market leader.”
