Founded by Andrew Volkov, Max Yankelevich, and Mikhail Abramchyk in 2009, WorkFusion had raised a total of $386.5M in equity funding and is backed by Greycroft, Inovia Capital, Mohr Davidow Ventures, RTP Global, NGP Capital, Georgian, SVB Capital, PNC Bank, Declaration Partners, Alpha Intelligence Capital, Serengeti Asset Management, Peak Opportunity Partners, Chubb, New York Presbyterian Ventures, Teralys Capital, Hawk Equity, George John, Guardian, Konrad Investments, and Adam Famularo. WorkFusion’s pre-built library of AI agents automates the most labor-intensive aspects of financial crime compliance, including anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) operations. Current customers include BMO, Deutsche Bank, and Raymond James. As part of the acquisition, WorkFusion’s AI agents will be integrated into UiPath’s agentic automation and orchestration platform, allowing financial institutions to automate intricate workflows, analyze complex patterns, and prioritize cases requiring human expertise while maintaining security and governance controls.
The acquisition expands UiPath’s portfolio of agentic AI solutions for the financial services sector and follows the company’s acquisition of Peak, an AI platform for retailers, last spring. “Financial institutions need intelligent solutions to combat sophisticated financial crimes and navigate evolving compliance requirements,” remarked Daniel Dines, CEO of UiPath. “Incorporating WorkFusion’s purpose-built AI agents for financial crime compliance into our platform expands our portfolio of agentic AI solutions for these industries, extending our ability to deliver comprehensive business orchestration and automation solutions to our customers. We’re delivering a powerful set of AI-powered solutions capable of automating and orchestrating critical compliance processes and workflows while working alongside people to deliver impact.”
