Banking
The Next Era of Banking Analytics
Banks today face siloed reporting across business units, slow compliance reporting, and costly cloud query pricing models. Basel III, IFRS 9, and DORA introduce new governance challenges, while legacy data warehouses struggle to scale for high-speed analytics.
Exasol eliminates these roadblocks, delivering a unified, high-performance analytics platform built for compliance, security, and cost efficiency.

- Bidirectional historization for full audit trails, ensuring accurate regulatory tracking over time
- Adaptive workload optimization ensures high concurrency without over-provisioning
- Fine-grained, database-native security controls that ensure total compliance with role-based access at the data level
- Active Directory integration ensures users only see data they are authorized to access, preventing unauthorized views of sensitive financial records
- Fast implementation with minimal maintenance efforts, reducing operational overhead

Why Top Banks Are Switching to Exasol
Stop Fraud in Real Time with AI-Powered Analytics
Fraud prevention demands real-time anomaly detection across terabytes of transaction data. Legacy batch-processing models are too slow.
- Sub-millisecond query execution with Exasol’s vectorized processing engine
- Event-driven architecture that ingests Kafka, Flink, and streaming data in real time
- AI-driven fraud models that execute user-defined functions (UDFs) in Python, R, or Java
How It Works
- In-memory caching enables instantaneous pattern recognition on high-volume data
- Parallelized query execution optimizes detection algorithms for massive throughput
- Federated query capabilities allow seamless fraud monitoring across disparate banking systems
Automate Compliance & Risk Management at Scale
Regulatory reporting under Basel III, IFRS 9, AML, and DORA requires high-precision calculations across terabyte-scale datasets. Exasol enables:
- Automated compliance reporting via SQL, Python, and REST APIs
- Parallelized stress testing and Monte Carlo simulations
- ACID-compliant data handling with full data lineage tracking
Technical Advantages
- Columnar storage ensures high-compression ratios and I/O efficiency
- Workload isolation with virtual schemas supports multi-tenant regulatory modeling
- Optimized data ingestion pipelines integrate with BigQuery, Snowflake, and on-premises Hadoop clusters
Cut Costs Without Compromising Performance
Traditional databases struggle to balance high-speed performance with cost efficiency. Exasol delivers the fastest query execution at the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO).
- Industry-leading in-memory vectorized query execution for sub-second analytics
- Optimized workload distribution with Massively Parallel Processing (MPP)
- Flexible scaling across on-prem and hybrid environments without cost spikes
Technical Advantages
- Metadata-driven auto-ELT framework enabling efficient data pipelines
- Adaptive resource allocation ensures high concurrency without over-provisioning
