London, UK, 29 April 2026 — TradeHeader, the independent architects of financial data standardisation, today announces that it has won ‘Most Innovative Regulatory Reporting Solution’ at the A-Team Insight Innovation Awards 2026.
The awards celebrate innovative projects and teams across the vendor and practitioner communities that make use of new and emerging technologies to deliver high-value solutions for financial institutions in capital markets. The winners were selected by A-Team Insight’s editorial team and Innovation Advisory Board, made up of key financial executives in the financial technology space.
TradeHeader was chosen because of its work as co-creator of the FINOS Common Domain Model (CDM) and ISDA’s Digital Regulatory Reporting (DRR) frameworks, used by industry leaders such as [BNP Paribas and JP Morgan]. This revolutionises regulatory reporting by shifting the compliance model from manual interpretation to machine-executable standardisation. This innovative approach allows firms to implement industry-validated logic, providing a single source of truth for all CDM and DRR reporting, drastically reducing operational costs and eliminating interpretation and implementation errors.
Now in its 15th year of operations, TradeHeader offers comprehensive DRR solutions which support financial institutions by combining expert training for in-house teams, strategic advisory services, and direct implementation to seamlessly translate complex regulatory rules into machine-executable code.
Marc Gratacos, Founder and Managing Partner of TradeHeader, said: “To win this award from A-Team Insight is an amazing endorsement of the work we do to help develop the CDM and DRR frameworks, demonstrate their benefits to the industry, and help clients in their implementation journeys. My thanks go to A-Team’s editorial team and Innovation Advisory Board, but also to our incredible team here at TradeHeader. The hard work, diligence, tenacity, talent, and expertise of our team make this award possible.”
“We are delighted to recognise TradeHeader as the winner of the Most Innovative Regulatory Reporting Solution in the 2026 A-Team Innovation Awards. Our awards are designed to honour the industry leaders who set new benchmarks in financial services by delivering high-value, transformative solutions. The quality of entries this year was exceptional, making TradeHeader’s win a significant testament to their dedication and creative excellence in the industry,” says Angela Wilbraham, CEO, A-Team Group.
