AI in fintech: useful, auditable, compliant.
Financial services have plenty of text-heavy, rule-bound work that AI handles well — and strict rules about how decisions are made and explained. The winning pattern is AI that prepares, summarises and flags, with humans and deterministic rules making the decisions.

Use cases
KYC / KYB document intake
Extract and cross-check data from IDs and company documents; route mismatches to analysts.
Support copilot
Draft answers grounded in product terms, fees and account data — reviewed by agents.
Compliance knowledge search
Search regulations, internal policies and procedures with exact citations.
Case summarisation
Summarise transaction histories and alerts so analysts start with context, not raw data.
Complaint classification
Classify and route complaints; flag regulatory-reportable ones.
Report drafting
Draft internal reports from structured data for analyst review.
Flagship use case: analyst copilot for alerts
Analysts spend much of their time assembling context for each alert. A copilot that gathers the relevant transactions, customer data and past cases into a cited summary — while the analyst decides — saves time without moving the decision.

Riskier than it looks
| Use case | Why it’s risky | How to handle it |
|---|---|---|
| Credit scoring of individuals with AI | High-risk under the EU AI Act; fairness and explainability duties | Plan for high-risk obligations; keep humans and documented models in the loop |
| Customer-facing financial advice | Regulatory and liability exposure | Strict scope; factual product information only; hand-off to licensed staff |
| Sending customer data to external models | Confidentiality and data-protection obligations | Regional endpoints, DPAs, minimisation, or self-hosted models |
A sensible first project

Involve compliance from day one
Agree data flows, logging and review requirements before building.
- 3
Proof of concept with evaluation
Measure accuracy, citations and failure types on real (anonymised) cases.
- 4
Production with full traceability
Audit logs, model versioning and reviewer records built in.
