Duco launches agentic Operations platform

Duco, a London-headquartered financial services automation firm, launched its first agentic Operations platform for financial services. This platform, built on Duco's existing infrastructure that processes 20 billion transactions monthly for over 200 clients, aims to integrate post-trade operations with autonomous agents. The new agent layer utilizes Model Context Protocol (MCP) to provide capabilities in reconciliation, data preparation, data access, audit trails, exception management, and document creation. Christianna, CEO and co-founder of Duco, highlighted that this is not merely an AI feature but an operating system for post-trade in the agentic era. The platform addresses pressures like shrinking settlement windows, growing transaction volumes, and workforce shifts, with early deployments showing significant efficiency gains, such as reducing reconciliation process setup from two days to four hours.
