10x Banking: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

10x Banking is a cloud-native core banking platform sold to banks and other financial institutions as a software service. The company describes its SaaS platform as available worldwide and promotes a Meta Core approach for institutions that want to move away from legacy core systems. The product covers the core processing functions that banks run their accounts and payments on. The company was founded in London in 2016, and press reports list institutional investors such as BlackRock and J.P. Morgan among its backers.

The registered office is in London, United Kingdom, and the company's website lists offices in London and Sydney. As a UK company it is established outside the EU and EEA, so European banks should treat it as a non-EU supplier. The website does not state where customer data is hosted, whether an EU hosting option exists, or whether the platform can be run on-premise. A European institution evaluating it should therefore obtain the hosting regions, the locations of support access and the contractual data terms from the vendor before deciding.

Why digital sovereignty matters with 10x Banking

10x Banking is headquartered in GB, outside the EU. Contracts and data therefore also fall under non-European law. The GDPR applies through contractual terms, but in a conflict with local legislation you have less certainty than with a European vendor.

10x Banking hosts data outside the EU (OTHER). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

10x Banking is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs 10x Banking together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
