N5 Now
N5 Now is a Buenos Aires-founded software company built specifically for the financial industry. Its 'systematics' platform - along with AI products AIfred, Pep and Singular - lets banks, insurers and payment companies connect CRM, campaigns, analytics, compliance and omnichannel operations on top of existing legacy systems instead of replacing them. Founded in 2017 by former Santander executive Julian Colombo, N5 works fully remotely across teams in dozens of cities, serves clients including Santander, Mastercard, Itau, Interbank and Zurich in roughly 15-18 countries, and closed a $20M Series A in 2025 to accelerate its AI agents for banks.
Julián Colombo
Julián Colombo is the founder and CEO of N5 Now, a multinational technology company that builds AI-driven software for banks, insurers and financial firms. After 20 years inside Banco Santander - ending as Global Managing Director of CRM and Business Intelligence in Madrid - he left in 2017 to start N5 with a USD 100 idea. Today N5 works across 18 countries with clients including Santander, Mastercard and Itaú, and in February 2025 raised a USD 20 million Series A to accelerate its banking AI products. An economist and journalist by training, and a former member of Argentina's parliament, Colombo is a frequent voice on how AI will reshape finance over the next decade.
