Case Study: Crelan achieves a unified, cloud-ready data platform with VaultSpeed

Crelan unifies two banks and prepares for 2027 cloud migration with VaultSpeed

Crelan, one of Belgium's largest cooperative retail banks, faced the significant challenge of unifying its data and technology stacks after a merger with AXA Bank Belgium. The bank needed to modernize its foundations, achieve full cloud migration by 2027, and build a unified, auditable data platform to meet stringent regulatory oversight from the European Central Bank. To address this, Crelan turned to VaultSpeed to automate the creation of a governed data platform.

Using VaultSpeed, Crelan successfully merged complex data pipelines, most notably for its critical Internal Ratings-Based risk model, accelerating its delivery for regulatory approval. The solution provided the transparency and auditability required for the ECB validation process. As a result, VaultSpeed enabled Crelan to establish a trusted data foundation that reduced manual processes, supported future AI initiatives, and made regulatory delivery faster and more predictable, creating a cloud-ready platform for scalable innovation.
