Summary Story

WorkFusion, a New York-based regulatory technology (RegTech) company, has raised $45 million in funding, led by investor Georgian. This injection of capital is aimed at accelerating development of its AI agent suite for financial crime compliance (FCC).

Since pivoting in 2022 from general automation tools to specialized AI for compliance, WorkFusion has built agents in key areas like AML (Anti-Money Laundering), sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, KYC (Know Your Customer), adverse media monitoring, and enhanced due diligence. These agents automate work that otherwise would require huge manual effort.

The company claims its tools are already being used by 10 of the top 20 banks, and that they are helping save about 40,000 hours of manual compliance work every day. With the new funding, WorkFusion plans to scale further, hire strategically, and expand adoption as financial institutions increasingly seek automation in compliance operations.
