Why Axoniq

Answer “why” in minutes, not weeks
Every state change carries its full causal chain, so any outcome traces back to the commands, data, and decisions that produced it.
Trace a refund, payment, or limit change across every system it touched
See any account exactly as it was at any point in time
Hand auditors evidence, not reconstructions

One version of the truth across every system
Ledgers, accounts, and downstream services stay in agreement because they all derive from the same ordered stream of events.
Every node and service reads the same sequence of events
No nightly reconciliation between systems of record
Consistency rules enforced by the platform, not by convention

Scale volume without losing correctness
Handle peak transaction loads across nodes and regions while every consumer sees events in the same order.
Ordered, consistent delivery across the cluster
Analytics and reporting never slow down payments
Grow volume without rewriting the core
Regulation
Built for the rules you answer to
Axoniq won’t make you compliant on its own. It gives your teams the evidence each regulation asks for, as a property of how data is stored.
01
DORA
Reconstruct ICT incidents step by step from the full event history, and show supervisors exactly what failed and when.
02
BCBS 239
Trace every risk figure back to the transactions and decisions that produced it, with complete data lineage.
03
EU AI Act
Article 12 asks for automatic, reconstructable logs of high-risk AI such as credit scoring. The event store records them by design.
04
Model risk management
Replay any model-driven decision with the exact inputs and context it used, for validation and independent review.
05
GDPR
The Data Protection extension helps you meet personal data obligations on top of an immutable event history.
06
Supervisory requests
Answer auditor and regulator requests from the system of record, for any account at any point in time.
