What it does Compliance & sovereignty

AI for the financial sector

Financial institutions operate under strict rules around data, operational resilience and accountability. HostYourAI runs open models on GPUs in European datacenters via vLLM, so your data stays in the EU and you keep control of the whole chain. No vendor lock-in, because the API is OpenAI-compatible and you can always leave.

02 Compliance & sovereignty

Why financial teams host their AI in the EU

01

Data residency and operational resilience

All processing happens inside the EU, with no US cloud provider in the chain. That aligns with the thinking behind DORA around control of your ICT chain and reducing dependency on a single party outside Europe.

02

Auditable and accountable

You run open weights with reproducible behaviour, and you see what happens per request. That makes internal control, model validation and accountability towards supervisors easier than with a closed black box.

03

A Data Processing Agreement and no training on your data

A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is available and the subprocessor list is public. Your prompts and documents are not used to train models.

03 Compliance & sovereignty

What you use AI for in finance

Think of summarising reports and regulation, analysing documents in KYC and AML processes, answering internal policy questions over your own documentation and drafting communication. Decisions stay with your team: the model speeds up the groundwork and delivers a draft that a human reviews. Do not use it for autonomous investment or credit decisions.

04 Compliance & sovereignty

Finance requirements and how HostYourAI meets them

Requirement in financeHow HostYourAI meets it
Data residency inside the EUEuropean GPUs, no US cloud in the chain
Control of the ICT chain (DORA thinking)Open models, public subprocessor list, no lock-in
Accountability and model validationReproducible behaviour, per-request logging
Protection of customer and transaction dataProcessing in the EU with a Data Processing Agreement
Isolation for sensitive workloadsDedicated GPU instances alongside the shared Router
Predictable costPay-as-you-go per token or per hour, visible per request

Formal frameworks such as DORA and supervisory requirements sit within your own governance. We provide the technical building blocks that fit: EU processing, a DPA, isolation, transparency and auditability.

05 Compliance & sovereignty

How to start

Link a knowledge base with your own policies and documentation; the Router automatically injects the relevant context, so answers are grounded in your sources. Start on the shared Router and scale to a dedicated instance once you move to production or more sensitive data.

python
from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    base_url="https://hostyourai.com/api/v1",
    api_key="hyai-...",
)

resp = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="llama-3.3-70b",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Summarise this regulation."}],
    extra_body={"knowledge_base_id": 42},
)
print(resp.choices[0].message.content)

Questions

Questions about AI in finance

Does our data stay inside the EU?

Yes. Models run on GPUs in European datacenters and your prompts and outputs never leave the EU. There is no US cloud provider in between.

Does this help with DORA?

We provide building blocks that fit the DORA thinking around control of your ICT chain: EU processing, a public subprocessor list, no lock-in and per-request logging. The formal DORA track runs through your own governance.

Can I use it for KYC and AML?

Yes, as support: summarising documents and making them searchable over your own sources. A human reviews and decides; the model takes no independent decisions.

Is our data used to train models?

No. There is no training on your input or output, and open weights do not learn from your traffic.

Am I locked in?

No. The API is OpenAI-compatible, so you point your existing client at our Router and can always leave. No vendor lock-in.

Can I get isolation for sensitive workloads?

Yes. Alongside the shared Router you can run a dedicated GPU instance for isolation and predictable performance.
