AI agents in financial services handle thousands of customer interactions daily, but manual compliance reviews cannot scale with rising regulatory scrutiny across jurisdictions like the EU AI Act and MiFID2. Alinia has raised $7.5M in seed funding to build compliance infrastructure that embeds real-time auditing, guardrails, and risk controls directly into AI workflows, ensuring regulatory adherence without deployment delays.

The Barcelona and New York-based startup closed the round led by Mouro Capital (Santander’s corporate VC), with participation from Raise Ventures, Speedinvest, and Precursor Ventures. This strategic backing from financial services infrastructure validates the compliance bottleneck across regulated industries deploying autonomous AI systems.

WorkFusion raised $45 million in Series funding led by Georgian to scale AI agents that automate financial crime compliance operations, with deployment across 10 of the top 20 global banks processing over 1 million alert investigations daily.

The funding addresses a critical operational bottleneck in the $155 billion financial crime compliance industry, where manual alert review processes overwhelm analyst teams and create regulatory risk for financial institutions facing exponentially growing transaction volumes.
