Growing Responsibly: People, Innovation, and Community

At Cascade, we grow by investing in our team, supporting our ecosystem, and leading innovation to fight financial crime.

Social responsibility is part of how we build Cascade. It starts with our people and extends to the communities and professional networks we are part of in Luxembourg.

Building a Workplace where People Grow

Our first responsibility is to our team. Cascade brings together 13 nationalities in a team of over 20 people internationally, united by a shared ambition: to fight financial crime through leading AML innovation.

We value different personalities, backgrounds, and ways of thinking. They make our work stronger and our solutions better. We encourage continuous learning, talent development, and internal growth, from interns becoming full-time employees to team members completing courses and taking part in new initiatives.

Our ambition is clear: to become one of the best employers in Luxembourg by creating a workplace where people feel trusted, challenged, and supported.

Fighting Financial Crime with Innovation

Cascade’s impact comes through the work we do. Being named among the FinCrimeTech 50 and RegTech100 for the second year in a row reflects our commitment to building technology that supports compliance teams and helps financial institutions detect and prevent financial crime effectively.

For us, responsible business means combining innovation with integrity, transparency and practical value for the financial ecosystem.

Supporting Women’s Leadership in Compliance

Cascade is proud to be the first sponsor of Women in Compliance Luxembourg, an initiative helping women in compliance connect, learn and lead.

Through this sponsorship, we support female talent, stronger representation of women in leadership and more diversity in Luxembourg’s compliance ecosystem.

We are also proud that this initiative was brought forward internally by Acia Baghdadi, whose conviction helped turn this support into action.

Supporting Local Sport and Teamwork

We support local sport, because it reflects values we share: teamwork, discipline, ambition and resilience.

From supporting the women’s basketball team Sparta Bertrange to now sponsoring Volleyball-Club Fentange, Cascade continues to encourage local talent and community spirit. Seeing the Cascade logo on the VCF jerseys during their Luxembourg Super Cup victory is a proud moment of what commitment and teamwork can achieve.

Meet Our Team

Cascade has a mix of fund industry, payment, audit and technology professionals.

Our Team was built to support the Cascade software and to help our clients manage the compliance overhead.

Why we built Cascade

Cascade emerged from the founders’ personal experiences of running buinesses subject to AML/KYC regulations and the complexity of fulfilling them. The use of Excel as a database and standalone name screening tools were insufficient to keep them up to date with regulatory changes and an alternative needed to be found. Failing to find a suitable platform, they set about creating a consolidated database to digitalise client and counterparty lists and embed a full Risk Based Approach framework in each profile. By ensuring that the platform can be customised by each client, they created a flexible user friendly solution suitable for any market and any business.
