Capgemini buys Delta Capita BV to boost financial crime compliance
PARIS, FRANCE — Outsourcing firm Capgemini has acquired Delta Capita BV and Delta Capita Academy BV for an undisclosed amount, expanding its footprint in Europe’s financial crime compliance (FCC) sector.
Capgemini announced the acquisition of 100% of Delta Capita BV and its wholly owned subsidiary Delta Capita Academy BV, both based in the Netherlands, from Delta Capita Group Limited.
The deal, signed and closed on April 16, adds over 200 KYC analysts and consultants to Capgemini’s FCC operations across Europe.
This marks Capgemini’s second FCC-related acquisition in 18 months and aims to bolster the Group’s presence in high-demand areas such as Know Your Customer (KYC), anti-bribery compliance, and regulatory control frameworks.
Strengthening European compliance services
Delta Capita BV specializes in helping financial institutions comply with complex local and EU-wide regulations. Its expertise in Dutch pension legislation and risk management frameworks makes it a strategic fit for Capgemini’s growing European client base, which includes banks, insurers, and pension funds.
“The acquisition of Delta Capita BV will position the Group as the global partner of choice in KYC transformation,” said Kartik Ramakrishnan, CEO of Capgemini’s Financial Services and Group Executive Board Member.
“Our end-to-end strategic business and technology services coupled with comprehensive KYC on, near and offshore capabilities, are complementary to this highly skilled Netherlands based team who will augment our European footprint for FCC.”
Capgemini already has a strong FCC presence in Romania, Poland, India, and the UK. The integration of Delta Capita’s Netherlands-based teams will now allow the Group to deliver 1st, 2nd, and 3rd lines of defense advisory and managed services across the continent.
A strategic fit for global growth
Tom Kastelein, CEO of Delta Capita BV, said joining Capgemini was a natural progression.
“Financial crime mitigation, risk management and regulatory compliance are business critical for the financial services industry and firms are now seeking comprehensive solutions for their end-to-end FCC transformation and ongoing management,” said Kastelein.
“Capgemini’s global scale, partner ecosystem and well-established financial services expertise, were a natural fit for our team in terms of complex project scope and global client base. We are very happy to be joining the Group.”
Capgemini, with a market capitalization of about €22.2 billion (US$24.7 billion), is a major player in IT services, consulting, and digital transformation. The company, which placed 5th in the OA500 2025, operates in over 50 countries and specializes in cloud services, software engineering, and enterprise technology integration.
The acquisition follows Capgemini’s advanced discussions to acquire WNS Holdings Ltd., a global outsourcing and analytics firm. Capgemini has reportedly edged out rival bidders and emerged as the most likely buyer.
