Remediation solved.
Bluline Technologies is partnering with Australian banks to solve one of banking’s biggest challenges: customer remediation. With ACE, Australia’s first fully automated remediation platform, Bluline delivers end-to-end automation. The platform was built by engineers with firsthand experience in the banking trenches who knew there had to be a better way – with a technology- and engineering-first approach. It reduces costs, streamlines compliance, and restores customer trust.
In 2025, Bluline was named RegTech Startup of the Year by The RegTech Association for its impact on financial services. Already, a Big Four bank has used the platform to halve remediation costs and increase efficiency by 600% within the first year. Let's Talk - Reach out to continue the conversation
