The Swiss financial media outlet All News recently featured CBS through an interview with our CEO, Samer Hanna. This exchange highlights our trajectory as a banking software publisher and our ability to differentiate ourselves through a sustainable and agile approach.
Agility as a Response to Industry Giants In a market often dominated by large structures, we assert our human scale. This configuration allows us to cultivate a real proximity with our partners and a responsiveness that traditional players sometimes struggle to offer. For us, agility is not just a slogan; it is a deployment method that allows for the installation of complete solutions in record time.
Technology at the Service of Wealth Management The article highlights the strategic importance of Wealth Management in our development, particularly in the Swiss market.
- Modularity: Our solutions are not rigid blocks, but adaptable bricks tailored to the specific needs of private banks and family offices.
- Security & AI: We integrate artificial intelligence to optimize support and accelerate development, while guaranteeing total data sovereignty, in compliance with local requirements (FINMA).
A Year 2026 Under the Sign of Expansion This press coverage reflects a strong dynamic for Capital Banking Solutions. Between our recent distinction at the WealthBriefing Awards and our external growth projects planned for the month of May, we are strengthening our position as a reference partner for financial institutions seeking modernization.
Capital Banking Solutions is a software publisher in the fields of commercial banking, corporate banking, and wealth management. How are your activities distributed between the different business lines?
On a global scale, our activity is dominated by core banking, which constitutes the heart of our offering and represents about 65% of our projects, mainly with commercial and corporate banks in Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America.
Private banking accounts for 35% of our activity. In this segment, we focus mainly on private banks and wealth managers, with references such as Rothschild Martin Maurel and Edmond de Rothschild, as well as several other establishments in France, Monaco, and Switzerland. Our offer is specifically adapted to smaller European players, notably family offices and private management companies.
What does Capital Banking Solutions represent today in terms of turnover and personnel?
The group has about 400 employees spread across eight offices, mainly in Europe, Africa, and Latin America, with a more limited presence in the Middle East. Europe represents nearly 50% of the turnover, followed by Africa at 30%, with the balance coming from the Americas and the Caribbean. Our exposure to the Middle East remains marginal, which makes us less sensitive to current tensions in that region.
With a forecast turnover in 2026 exceeding 50 million euros, we remain a modest-sized player in our sector, where the main competitors are generally large structures. However, this size constitutes an asset: it gives us strong agility, allowing us to propose tailor-made solutions. This capacity for adaptation is a true competitive advantage today.
Switzerland is a key market for the group, at the heart of global wealth management activity. What are the main characteristics of your wealth management solutions?
Our solutions notably cover client and portfolio management, with an integrated approach that offers a consolidated view of assets to both the end client and their manager, along with mobile access. Portfolio management is not standardized: it is highly customizable to meet the specific needs of each bank or wealth manager. This capacity for adaptation relies on strong proximity with our clients and continuous listening to their expectations. Our offer also stands out for its modularity. It is not a fixed solution, but a set of bricks that can be assembled and integrated according to needs. This architecture allows us to offer a complete wealth management solution while maintaining great flexibility. We cover the entire value chain, from development to installation, through to operational monitoring. The teams dedicated to wealth management are distributed between Paris, Monaco, and Geneva, with development mainly based in Monaco and strong collaboration between the French and Monegasque teams. Support is provided locally, as close as possible to the clients.
What technologies do your solutions rely on?
Technologically, our wealth management solutions rely on Microsoft environments with a cloud architecture. Core banking relies on Oracle technologies. Artificial intelligence is used at several levels: to accelerate development, facilitate integration for clients, and improve support. AI agents already handle about 30% of our users’ requests before they are passed to the teams.
What are your main assets and in what ways do you consider yourselves innovative?
Our size constitutes a decisive advantage: it allows us to demonstrate great agility and to develop a truly modular approach. We consider our clients as partners, which allows us to react very quickly to their needs, whereas some of our competitors may take several months or years to evolve their solutions. Contrary to many market players, we do not prioritize a standardized SaaS approach. Our solutions are not hosted in a pooled cloud but are centered on each client, which allows for the construction of a modular platform that is fully adaptable to their specific needs. This choice also addresses security issues, in a context where open architectures are not necessarily well-protected against cyber risks.
This approach translates into strong operational efficiency and very short deployment times. Thanks notably to the use of artificial intelligence and the very design of our products, a complete installation can be achieved in about fifteen days. Finally, we are pursuing the development of our offer with the launch, starting in the third quarter, of a new solution dedicated to compliance. This will natively integrate controls related to PEPs, sanctions, and regulatory requirements, directly from the client onboarding phase.
Is your growth organic or are you targeting acquisitions?
Our growth has so far been essentially organic, with the exception of an acquisition made in the United States in 2009, which notably allowed us to develop in Latin America. We are currently engaged in two external growth operations in the finalization phase. One concerns the acquisition of a technological brick intended to enrich our existing offer. The other aims at opening a new market complementary to our current locations, with an expected impact on both turnover and profitability. These two targets, which are predominantly technological, present solid fundamentals in terms of revenue and EBITDA. A first announcement is planned during the month of May.
What are your objectives in Switzerland?
Switzerland is a key market for the group, at the heart of global wealth management activity. As such, significant investments are planned over the next three years to strengthen our presence and support our local development. This strategy is notably supported by the recruitment of Oliver Ernst in the fourth quarter of 2025 as Sales Director for Switzerland, with the mission of accelerating our anchoring and development in this market.
We primarily target private banks, external asset managers (EAMs), and family offices, which today must reconcile increasing regulatory requirements, pressure on margins, and ever-higher client expectations. Our positioning aims to respond to these challenges by providing flexible and adapted solutions. This approach was recently recognized by winning a WealthBriefing Award on February 5, 2026, rewarding our PMS solution as one of the best on the market. Our ambition is now to become a true reference partner for wealth managers, by supporting a progressive modernization of their tools without major disruption to their operations. Note that we guarantee data hosting in Switzerland for local establishments, in line with Swiss regulatory requirements, notably from FINMA, and regarding sovereignty.
