Refute AI helps financial institutions investigate risk faster while keeping compliance decisions explainable and auditable.

Refute AI builds enterprise-grade AI agents for high-volume financial crime compliance work. Its platform supports screening, AML, KYC/KYB, sanctions and PEP checks, adverse media, enhanced due diligence, ongoing monitoring and transaction monitoring. By combining contextual investigation with clear evidence and decision trails, Refute AI enables compliance teams to reduce repetitive manual review, surface risk faster and scale operations with confidence.

Refute AI raised $1.3 million in a pre-seed round announced on June 24, 2026. The round was led by PACA Ventures, with participation from T Bridge Venture Partners and Nexenai Capital.

“Financial crime compliance should be both faster and more rigorous. We’re building AI agents that investigate deeply, explain every decision and give teams the confidence to scale without weakening controls.”

Olivier Casanova
