AutoRek, a leading provider of automated reconciliation and financial controls solutions, has been named Best Reconciliation Solution at the FTF News Technology Innovation Awards 2026. Now in its 15th year, the awards program recognizes outstanding technology providers across securities operations, with winners selected by industry peers, clients and partners through an open vote. With this award, FTF News acknowledges AutoRek's continued innovation in reconciliation technology, including the introduction of AutoRek ARIA, an intelligent AI agent embedded directly within the platform.
For more than 30 years, AutoRek has helped global asset managers, investment banks and brokers modernize and scale their reconciliation operations as financial data volumes and operational complexity continue to grow. AutoRek ARIA builds on that foundation by bringing AI directly into the reconciliation workflow, helping teams resolve exceptions faster, improve matching accuracy and make more informed decisions in real time.
The launch of AutoRek ARIA addresses a pressing operational challenge facing the industry. AutoRek research shows that 79 percent of asset management and capital markets firms struggle to keep pace with current data volumes. AutoRek enables reconciliation teams to scale operations without compromising on accuracy or control. Now sitting within that platform, AutoRek ARIA has a powerful set of AI capabilities that accelerates and improves the workflow, in a way that ensures control and trust come first.
"AutoRek has been leading this space for more than 30 years, and the problems firms face today around data volumes, operational complexity and the pressure to do more with less are bigger than ever,” Chris Livesey, CEO of AutoRek, said. “With AutoRek ARIA offering a trusted control layer for next-generation financial operations, we enable firms to safely operate with more speed, accuracy, and intelligence. Winning this award matters because it's recognition that the approach we've taken, combining innovative technology with deep domain experience in complex reconciliations, is the right one."
"There's no denying this industry is hard. It's competitive. It can be unforgiving. Nothing is ever given. Everything is earned through a lot of hard work, perseverance, and dedication. Which is why being voted the best service or solution by the very industry you serve is so incredibly rewarding," said Maureen Lowe, founder and editor-in-chief of FTF News.
"Every year, the FTF team puts on an awards celebration that matches what the winners deserve, and this year is no different. We're not just recognizing our 2026 FTF Award winners, we're also celebrating 20 years of FTF and 15 years of the Awards program. Let's get ready to party in NYC on June 16," Lowe added.
The FTF News Technology Innovation Awards celebrate solutions that are transforming operations across financial services. AutoRek was selected in the Best Reconciliation Solution category.
