Marble, a Paris-based platform for fraud detection and anti-money laundering (AML) compliance, has raised €6.5m in a Series A round to expand its use of AI across financial crime compliance, according to EU-Startups.
The investment was led by Smartfin, with participation from ADNEXUS and existing backers Passion, 42Capital and Hexa. TSIC is also listed among Marble’s existing investors. The latest round takes the company’s total funding to €9m.
Marble plans to direct the new funding towards four areas: AI-powered automation, faster deployment, agentic compliance and adaptable systems.
As part of this strategy, the company plans to use AI for tasks including creating transaction monitoring rules, triaging alerts and supporting case investigations. It is also developing its own AI agents with restrictions on the data they can access.
Marble is also focusing on how compliance teams manage changes to rules and workflows. The company wants these changes to become routine configuration tasks for compliance officers rather than requiring a separate technology project.
Founded in 2021 by Arnaud Schwartz and Pascal Delange, both former executives at French FinTech Shine, Marble focuses on what it calls FRAML — the combined fraud and AML workload.
The founders’ experience managing financial crime compliance at Shine influenced the development of the platform. They said existing compliance tools could add complexity without removing the manual work involved.
Marble provides a no-code platform through which compliance and risk teams can create transaction monitoring rules without waiting for a vendor or IT department. The platform also includes sanctions and watchlist screening, investigation and reporting capabilities, customer risk scoring and A/B testing of rules against live data.
The technology is available through both on-premises and SaaS deployments. Marble’s open-source core allows auditors to inspect how decisions are made.
According to Marble, its platform currently protects more than 3bn transactions each year and reduces manual review work by 90%.
The company says its technology is now used in production by more than 100 institutions across more than 25 countries. Nearly 70% of its customers are outside France, while 70% have adopted Marble as a replacement for an existing solution.
Marble is targeting more than €5m in annual recurring revenue by 2027.
Smartfin partner Saumitra Dubey said, “Marble makes automation the default, on the customer’s own infrastructure. Our conviction is that Marble becomes the structurally differentiated, modern financial crime operating system for mid-market banks and fintechs. That’s why we led this round.”
Marble CEO and co-founder Arnaud Schwartz added, “Compliance teams shouldn’t have to choose between staying compliant and moving fast. That’s exactly what we built Marble to solve. As the regulatory bar keeps rising, compliance teams are expected to do more with the same headcount. Our job is to make sure that it is Marble that absorbs that complexity and not our customers.”
Passion Capital partner Will Orde also commented, “More than 100 institutions now run Marble in production. When conviction meets execution like that, it’s simple: you lean in.”
