The story

Founded in 1836 as a Dutch publisher, Wolters Kluwer has evolved over nearly two centuries into a global professional information and software company. Its financial and corporate compliance division now serves banks, lenders, and fintechs with regulatory content, compliance workflow software, and digital lending infrastructure (including the eOriginal platform for electronic collateral). Rather than embedding finance into its own platform, Wolters Kluwer positions itself as the compliance and documentation backbone for lenders and financial institutions — effectively acting as B2B infrastructure for the lending lifecycle.
