Nasdaq Verafin, a provider of cloud-based financial crime management solutions for financial institutions, has introduced the Agentic AI Workforce.
This new product is designed to transform anti-money laundering (AML) compliance across the banking sector through automation and enhanced operational efficiency.
The launch comes in response to a growing need for financial institutions to modernise compliance operations. Despite increased investments in staffing, Nasdaq Verafin’s Global Financial Crime Report revealed that nearly half of industry professionals still cite inadequate technology and resources as barriers to fighting financial crime effectively.
Nasdaq Verafin specialises in helping banks combat financial crime through advanced technology, including AI-driven tools and analytics. With over 1,300 financial institution clients, the company delivers comprehensive solutions for AML detection, fraud prevention, and case management.
The Agentic AI Workforce is a suite of digital workers designed to execute high-volume, low-value tasks with minimal supervision. These AI agents are capable of independently analysing, documenting, and making decisions on AML-related processes, allowing human teams to focus on complex investigations and more strategic compliance objectives.
Initially, the digital workforce will address two high-resource areas: Sanctions Screening and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD). The Digital Sanctions Analyst will automate the dispositioning and documentation of false positives, reducing alert review workloads by more than 80%, according to preliminary results. Meanwhile, the Digital EDD Analyst will streamline the periodic review of high-risk customers, actioning low-risk cases automatically and lowering operational expenses.
This launch builds on the success of Nasdaq Verafin’s GenAI Entity Research Copilot, which has already been used in tens of thousands of investigations since its rollout in Q2 2025. The integrated GenAI tools have become a staple for the company’s case management platform, providing fast, intelligent support to compliance teams.
Nasdaq Verafin SVP and head of product Rob Norris said, “In today’s operating environment, banks are tasked with navigating a growing number of compliance challenges from evolving regulatory requirements to the shortcomings of legacy technology and impact of resource constraints on compliance teams. Our Agentic AI Workforce will transform the way banks of all sizes approach AML compliance, delivering a step change in efficiency gains that allows compliance teams to shift efforts and focus on the important work of tackling serious financial crimes such as human trafficking, drug trafficking, and other facets of organised crime.”
Datos Insights fraud and AML practice director Chuck Subrt said, “The financial services industry is grappling with mounting pressure to enhance operational efficiency while maintaining robust compliance operations amid increasingly sophisticated threats. We are witnessing a transformative shift as institutions seek to automate resource-intensive workflows that traditionally consume the vast majority of analysts’ time on data collection and processing. Digital workforce solutions like Nasdaq Verafin’s Agentic AI Workforce flip the investigator time equation to enable human experts to focus on high-value decision-making and critical analysis.”
