RECEIPT working with anthropic to bring agent artificial intelligence Starting from Financial Crimes AI Agent to banking.
The agent will reduce anti-money laundering investigations from hours to minutes, automatically collecting evidence from the bank’s core systems, evaluating activity against known typologies, and surfacing the highest risk cases for investigators to examine. BMO and Amalgamated Bank will be among the first institutions to deploy the broker, with wider availability planned for the second half of 2026.
Anthropic’s Applied AI team and forward-deployed engineers (FDEs) are integrated into FIS to co-design the Financial Crimes AI Agent and transfer knowledge so that FIS can independently build and scale additional agents over time.
Anthropic’s Claude models strengthen reasoning capabilities across strategy.
Anthropic’s Applied AI and forward-deployed engineers will co-design the first Financial Crimes AI agent, while FIS’ product and compliance teams will create additional agents purpose-built for bank-level operations.
The UN estimates that $2 trillion in illicit funds flows into the global financial system every year. US financial institutions alone spend $35-40 billion annually on AML operations, but researchers spend most of their time manually collecting evidence in disconnected systems before any analysis can begin. Emerging US regulations are now forcing organizations to move beyond this model and shift resources to the highest risk threats.
