DESILO establishes European entity in Luxembourg and launches search for a bank pilot partner ahead of AMLR Article 75

Encrypted Collaboration in Financial Crime Detection, co-hosted with the LHoFT on 29 September, marks the start of DESILO’s effort to validate privacy-preserving infrastructure with CSSF-supervised banks before the AMLR applies in July 2027

LUXEMBOURG, Aug. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DESILO, a deep-tech company developing privacy-preserving AI using fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), has established DESILO EUROPE S.à r.l. in Luxembourg. The new entity will focus on enabling banks to detect cross-institutional fraud without exposing the underlying data, with the aim of validating the approach before the AMLR’s information-sharing provisions apply in July 2027. Its first public initiative in Europe is Encrypted Collaboration in Financial Crime Detection, an event co-hosted with the Luxembourg House of Financial Technology (LHoFT) on Tuesday 29 September 2026.

The launch is timed against a clear regulatory deadline. Article 75 of the EU Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR) applies from 10 July 2027 and establishes, for the first time, a legal basis for Partnerships for Information Sharing (PfIS) between financial institutions. DESILO EUROPE aims to help banks supervised by Luxembourg’s CSSF test the required technology and governance model before the rules apply, rather than after.

The pressure behind PfIS is visible in the numbers. Reported payment fraud across the European Economic Area totalled €4.2 billion in 2024, up 17% in a single year, according to a joint report published by the European Central Bank and the European Banking Authority in December 2025. The report also found that net losses, after recovered funds, rose even faster, by 23%.

A growing share of these schemes are designed to span several institutions. In authorised push payment (APP) fraud, victims are manipulated into authorising transfers themselves; the funds may then pass through mule accounts across multiple banks before being converted into crypto-assets or other forms of value. Telecom operators, banks, payment providers and exchanges may each hold only one part of the trail, leaving the activity at any single institution looking unremarkable in isolation. Detecting such schemes requires signals to be connected across institutions. Article 75 provides a legal route for that collaboration.

A legal framework, however, does not by itself make collaboration operational. What remains missing is infrastructure that supports GDPR-compliant collaboration while minimising exposure. HOLMES, the system DESILO is bringing to the European market, treats this as a mathematical problem rather than a contractual one. Its protections are built into the architecture, rather than left to policy alone. With FHE, HOLMES can detect fraud candidates across institutions while the underlying source data remains with the institution that holds it. Signals are combined and scored in encrypted form, with the results returned the same way. At no point can the aggregation server decrypt any participating institution’s data.

“DESILO was built on one conviction: Privacy by Design,” said Howard Park, Managing Director of DESILO EUROPE. “The value of data grows when institutions can use it together, but so does the risk of exposure. Privacy therefore cannot depend on organisational policies and access controls alone; it has to be built into the infrastructure itself.”

For DESILO EUROPE, that principle translates into cross-institutional fraud detection in which the underlying source data remains with the institution that holds it and is never exposed.

“Our immediate priority is to bring that capability to the European market through a pilot with a CSSF-supervised retail bank,” Park said. “The pilot will validate not only the technology, but also the governance model needed before Article 75 applies. The September event is where we begin that conversation.”

“As a key financial center, Luxembourg needs the best AI technology to fight fraud and financial crime. Therefore we are super excited to welcome DESILO at the LHoFT and help them provide their technology to the financial industry. Beyond the state of the art tech, the DESILO’s team is bringing extremely valuable experience and expertise, that will be shared during the conference on September 29th” said Alex Panican, Acting CEO of LHoFT.

Beyond Silos #1: Fighting Fraud Together – What AMLR Article 75 Changes for Luxembourg’s Financial Sector – takes place on Tuesday, 29 September 2026, at the LHoFT in Luxembourg. The programme will examine the regulatory roadmap for AMLR Article 75, lessons from the United Kingdom and other information-sharing models, and the legal, governance and technical conditions required to make cross-institutional collaboration work in practice. The event is intended for financial institutions, regulators and financial crime specialists. Registration is open at https://luma.com/c70k6f4v.

Spitz is scheduled to speak at TEDxJacksonville 2027: You Are Here on January 16, 2027. His 2027 keynote program adds “Metaruptions & Structural Unpredictability: The AAA Framework Response” and “The Law of Inaction: Agency and Leadership for Compressed Decision Windows” alongside the Visionary Trilogy (Mindset Shift, Intelligence Shift, Leadership Shift).

KAPSARC also participates in the World Café through a session on “Carbon Dioxide Removal Technologies,” bringing together experts, policymakers, and practitioners to examine the prospects for scaling engineered carbon-removal solutions. The discussion covers direct air capture, bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, and biochar, alongside the economic, infrastructure, regulatory, carbon-market, and regional considerations influencing their deployment.

In the Synergy Programme, KAPSARC experts contribute to discussions on “Accelerating the Circular Carbon Economy Through Joint Action” and “AI Partnerships for Energy Innovation,” bringing research-based perspectives to the intersection of energy, technology, and sustainability.

KAPSARC’s dedicated pavilion provides another platform for knowledge exchange and engagement throughout the Congress. Structured around five thematic hubs, the pavilion brings together KAPSARC research, analytical tools, and expertise across the Oil Hub, Transportation Hub, Clean Energy Hub, AI Hub, and Collaboration Hub. Together, the hubs provide visitors with an integrated view of selected research areas and emerging issues shaping energy systems, while creating opportunities for engagement with policymakers, industry leaders, researchers, and other Congress participants.

The pavilion also features the KAPSARC School of Public Policy (KSPP) and the Saudi Energy Leaders Assembly (SELA), providing additional platforms for policy education, leadership development, and knowledge exchange.

Through its participation across the Congress’s programmes and sessions, alongside its dedicated thematic pavilion, KAPSARC connects Saudi-based research and policy expertise with international discussions on energy security, investment, technology, and sustainability.
