## What we can build for banking and fintech. We have not yet delivered an AI project for a bank. These are capabilities, backed by related fintech and AI work.

### KYC document checks

Identity and onboarding documents read and checked, with anything unclear routed to a person.

### Transaction flags for review

Unusual transactions flagged with the reasons, for your team to review and decide.

### Loan and onboarding files

Data extracted from applications and supporting documents, with exceptions routed to people.

### Support assistants

Answers to routine account and product questions, with a handover to staff.

### Compliance reporting

Evidence gathered and reports drafted for your compliance team to review.

### Knowledge assistants

Answers from policies and procedures, with a link to the source.

### Audit trail

Every recommendation and approval recorded, so decisions can be traced.

### Access controls

Role-based permissions and approval checkpoints for high-stakes actions.

### Built on your systems

Designed to work with the core, card and CRM systems you already run. Integrations are agreed during discovery.

## Match the autonomy to the task. AI prepares and flags. People decide.

## AI for banking and fintech FAQs.

### Have you built AI for a bank before?

Not yet. We have built fintech systems, a compliant crypto exchange, stablecoin payment rails and a card app, and AI platforms with audit trails in insurance. Those engagements are linked on this page.

### Will AI make credit or fraud decisions?

No. AI prepares the evidence and flags what needs attention. Credit, fraud and account decisions stay with people.

### Do you handle regulatory compliance?

We design compliance into the system: KYC/AML flows, audit trails and access controls. We work alongside your legal counsel. We do not give legal advice.

### Where should we start?

With one task where the data exists and the risk is contained. We map it, agree what good looks like, and build a working version you can review before anything scales.

### How do you handle our data?

Access is scoped to what the system needs, with role-based permissions and audit trails where records change. We agree data handling during discovery.

## Ready to turn your vision into reality?

Tell us the problem, the data, and where manual effort sits today. We'll map the path from MVP to scale.
