Brighter Super, one of Queensland’s largest superannuation funds, has strengthened its compliance framework by deploying the Napier AI Continuum platform.
The organisation, which manages A$36bn in retirement savings for over 348,000 members, is continuing its digital transformation to support growth and regulatory preparedness.
Brighter Super sought a new solution following a period of major consolidation, including its merger with Energy Super and its acquisition of Suncorp Portfolio Services Limited. These developments created the need for a flexible, cloud-based compliance platform capable of supporting a larger membership and more complex operational structure.
Napier AI, a RegTech headquartered in London, provides anti-money laundering and financial crime compliance technologies for financial institutions, payments firms, and wealth & asset managers.
The Napier AI Continuum deployment provides Brighter Super with streamlined post-merger integration, Kubernetes-based scalability and a cloud-hosted system that reduces complexity. The platform also offers intuitive rule testing, giving compliance teams the ability to update and calibrate controls quickly as regulations shift.
A key advantage for Brighter Super has been the consolidation of several legacy systems into a unified production environment. This centralisation supports more efficient compliance management, reduces operational overhead, and ensures consistent oversight across the organisation. Sandbox testing capabilities further help the fund maintain regulatory readiness by reducing false positives and enabling faster rule adjustments.
Brighter Super successfully migrated from an on-premise system to Napier AI’s hosted environment.
Shawn Chan, chief risk officer, Brighter Super, said, “Napier AI has been instrumental in helping us modernise and scale our compliance operations to keep pace with an evolving superannuation industry.
“As we integrated multiple funds and transitioned to a cloud-based environment, Napier’s platform gave us the flexibility and control we needed—without added complexity. The user-friendly interface meant our team could adapt quickly, even during structural changes.”
Greg Watson, CEO of Napier AI, commented: “Brighter Super is an excellent example of how a forward-looking institution can use technology to drive compliance transformation. By adopting Napier AI Continuum, Brighter Super has built a scalable, future-ready compliance operation that not only meets today’s regulatory expectations but also positions them for continued growth.”
