Keylane Acquires Vereycken & Vereycken to Expand Belgian Pension Software

Keylane, a prominent European provider of configurable SaaS platforms for the pension and insurance industries backed by Pollen Street Capital, confirms its agreement to acquire Vereycken & Vereycken, the leading life and pension software provider in Belgium. This acquisition, announced on April 15, 2026, marks a strategic expansion of Keylane’s technology footprint and deepens its presence in the Belgian market.

While financial terms of the deal remain undisclosed, the acquisition will see Vereycken & Vereycken operate as a business unit within Keylane’s Life & Pension segment. Over time, the company will transition to operate under the Keylane brand. The deal follows Keylane’s recent acquisition of UK-based pension technology provider Heywood in 2025, continuing its growth trajectory since partnering with investment firm Pollen Street in 2024.

Vereycken & Vereycken is recognized for its UL3 platform, a leading solution tailored to the Belgian life and pension market, supported by deep expertise in local regulations. The company has built a strong reputation for delivering robust, compliant, and scalable technology in a complex regulatory environment.

Keylane plans to leverage its AI product suite, sovereign cloud hosting, assurance services, and additional software modules to enhance the UL3 platform. This integration aims to drive growth in Belgium by offering advanced, future-ready solutions that meet evolving customer needs.

Both companies share a strong cultural and operational alignment, emphasizing high-quality technology delivery and customer-centric service. Keylane’s CEO notes, “We have long been an admirer of the expertise and achievements of Vereycken & Vereycken. They are a keystone of the Belgian life and pension industry and have earned the trust of high-quality customers. Together, we will expand our offering in Belgium and boost the growth and capabilities of the UL3 platform.”

From Vereycken & Vereycken’s perspective, the acquisition represents a significant step in their growth journey. Their leadership states, “Joining Keylane strengthens our ability to deliver market-leading life and pension technology while maintaining our focus on customer value. We remain committed to providing excellent service and robust, future-ready solutions, and look forward to the opportunities this partnership will bring.”

The deal occurs amid increasing consolidation in the European pension and insurance software market, where providers are investing heavily in AI, cloud infrastructure, and compliance capabilities. Keylane’s acquisition strengthens its competitive position in Belgium, potentially prompting rivals to pursue similar strategic moves.

Financial details such as valuation and deal multiples were not disclosed. The acquisition is expected to generate synergies through cross-selling opportunities, shared R&D, and operational efficiencies, particularly by integrating Keylane’s AI and cloud technologies into the UL3 platform.

Looking ahead, Keylane will focus on a smooth integration process, maintaining service continuity for Vereycken & Vereycken’s clients while gradually rebranding the business. Regulatory approvals are anticipated to be straightforward given the complementary nature of the companies’ operations.

This acquisition reinforces Keylane’s strategy to expand its European footprint and enhance its product suite, positioning the company for accelerated growth in the life and pension software market.
