Scila AB, a leading international provider of innovative risk and surveillance solutions, today announced that the firm has been named Best Market Risk Provider at the prestigious American Financial Technology Awards (AFTAs) 2025, hosted by Waters Technology.
The award recognizes Scila's ability to deliver innovative technology that solves day-to-day, real-world challenges in the capital markets. This respected recognition validates Scila’s strategic decision to challenge traditional reliance on siloed systems with a high-performance, unified, and multi-asset architecture.
The winning solution, Scila Risk, is recognized for its high-performance technology that masters real-time risk management across multiple asset classes. This capability directly delivers commercial benefits, such as the ability to optimize collateral use, unlocking revenue-generating capital. The use of the highly effective Position Limits module adds a key component, offering clients a flexible entry point to improved risk management with regulatory compliance, as it can be deployed either fully integrated or as a standalone solution.
“This is yet another prestigious award that validates our architectural strength,” commented Mikko Andersson, CEO of Scila. “We remain the nimble speedboat challenging the large tankers in the industry. By delivering a unified, real-time platform for multi-asset risk management, we give clients substantial commercial benefits, not just optimizing working capital, but also giving deep insights into their business that can generate revenue.”
Björn Thornquist, CTO of Scila, added: "Our technology’s core is built on a single, high-performance architecture that masters both Surveillance and Risk. It is this fundamental design choice that enables us to deliver true multi-asset coverage and granular, real-time risk calculations in one system. This is the difference between simply reporting risk and actively controlling it."
The AFTAs success, hosted by the respected Waters Technology, follows a period of significant achievement for the firm. Earlier this fall, Scila Risk was named Enterprise Risk Software of the Year at the Energy Risk Asia Awards, and the firm improved its place in the Chartis RiskTech100 global ranking by climbing 18 spots, demonstrating consistent industry recognition of Scila’s dual excellence in Surveillance and Risk Management.
