Lucinity’s mission is to Make Money Good™ through Human AI. By delivering user-centric compliance systems augmented by artificial intelligence (AI), Lucinity has helped various banks and FinTechs increase their compliance productivity by over 50%. This results in thousands of hours now spent on actually fighting financial crime instead of making sense of complex and noisy data.
Recent customers of Lucinity that join a range of banks and FinTechs include Pleo, a $4.7B FinTech used by 20,000 companies that chose Lucinity as its central hub for financial crime prevention, and Visa’s Currencycloud, a part of the world’s largest global payment platform.
Lucinity also recently announced partnerships with Experian and Seon. With Experian, Lucinity is delivering next-generation ongoing Know Your Business (KYB) and risk assessments, while its collaboration with Seon is centered around a joint anti-money laundering and fraud prevention solution.
“It’s exciting to see Lucinity’s ground-breaking change ripple through the compliance and risk spaces. Our Human AI is transforming our clients’ productivity, and our partnerships are creating incredible productivity innovations for customers to leverage,” says Guðmundur Kristjánsson (GK), founder and CEO of Lucinity. “This successful funding round will help fuel our rapid growth as we expand our customer base, partner network, global team of experts, and product offering.”

We are extremely excited about Lucinity’s platform and its promise to address the global issue of financial crime.”
This funding round illustrates a strong belief in Lucinity’s success and potential to finally provide banks and FinTechs with productive compliance tools to fight financial crime.
