Zanders and NVIDIA Join Forces to Help Financial Institutions Run Risk Faster, Cheaper, and at Scale

Utrecht, The Netherlands – July 13, 2026 – Banks and asset managers are under relentless pressure to make risk calculations faster, more accurate, and more cost-efficient without adding to already-stretched IT budgets. Today, Zanders, the global treasury, risk, and technology consultancy, and NVIDIA, the world leader in accelerated computing, announce a strategic partnership that makes this possible. Zanders brings deep domain expertise in quantitative finance and treasury risk, combined with hands-on integration of the NVIDIA accelerated computing stack, while NVIDIA contributes its industry-leading GPU architecture.

Together, the two organizations deliver a fully integrated, end-to-end proposition, from business case to production, that helps financial institutions dramatically accelerate risk model execution, reduce compute costs, and improve pricing accuracy across their most demanding workloads.

Risk teams at major banks are running computations that take hours when they need them in seconds. GPU acceleration is the solution but only when paired with genuine quantitative expertise. That is exactly what this partnership delivers: the world's best hardware, implemented by people who understand the mathematics of financial risk as deeply as the technology.

What This Means for Financial Institutions

For CROs and CFOs, this partnership resolves one of the most persistent frustrations in risk technology: the gap between what GPU infrastructure can theoretically deliver and what firms can actually implement. NVIDIA provides the world's most advanced accelerated computing platform and Zanders provides the quantitative finance and CUDA expertise to deploy them in production-grade risk environments. Together, they close that gap.

• Faster risk calculations: GPU-accelerated models reduce overnight batch runtimes to minutes, enabling intraday risk views and faster regulatory reporting.
• Lower compute costs: Migrating risk workloads to GPU infrastructure significantly reduces the cost per calculation compared to traditional CPU-based architectures, freeing budget for higher-value work.
• Improved pricing accuracy: Higher simulation throughput allows more precise valuation of complex derivatives, reducing model risk and improving hedge effectiveness.
• A proven path to enterprise AI: GPU adoption in market risk creates a tested, scalable compute foundation that banks can extend into GenAI, fraud detection, and broader AI Factory initiatives across the enterprise.

A Joint Proposition Built on Proven Delivery

NVIDIA's accelerated computing platform enables financial institutions to move beyond the limitations of traditional CPU-based workflows, accelerating risk model execution and processing large-scale portfolios in real time. With Zanders as a preferred implementation partner in the financial risk domain, institutions now have a single, trusted route to realizing that potential with the quantitative depth and regulatory awareness the sector demands.

Going forward, the partnership gives Zanders direct access to NVIDIA's global account teams and technology ecosystem, while giving NVIDIA a specialist gateway into the financial risk sector — a high-value, mission-critical market where deep domain knowledge is essential. Joint go-to-market activity will span Europe, the US, and Asia Pacific.

Zanders brings something rare: genuine depth in both quantitative finance and GPU implementation. Financial services is a mission-critical sector in which that combination of expertise is exactly what institutions need to move from pilot to production. We are proud to work with a partner that can make the full value of accelerated computing real for their clients.
