Agentic AI platform for fraud, AML, and compliance operations — most systems generate alerts, Unit21 resolves them
Unit21 is an agentic AI platform for financial-crime operations that automates fraud detection, anti-money-laundering, and compliance end-to-end using configurable AI agents that investigate alerts, run workflows, and file regulatory reports. It serves fintechs, crypto platforms, sponsor banks, and financial institutions that need to resolve alerts rather than just generate them.
Unit21 is an AI risk-infrastructure platform for fraud and AML operations that in 2026 rebuilt itself around AI agents, positioning as a leader in agentic financial-crime tooling. Its Detection Agent analyzes alerts, transactions, and behavioral signals in real time and learns from analyst feedback, while its Investigation Agent automates case analysis, risk summarization, narrative generation, and entity linking. The platform monitors real-time payments across RTP, FedNow, ACH, cards, and crypto with sub-250ms latency, adds Device Intelligence risk scoring and a Fraud Consortium spanning 80M+ U.S. adults, and automates regulatory filing for SARs, STRs, CTRs, and goAML. On July 8, 2026 Unit21 launched Agentic Task Builder, which lets risk and compliance teams describe custom investigation logic — online search and data analysis — in plain English and have the system turn it into executable tasks their alert agents run, with human review and full auditability and no engineering required. Unit21 integrates with virtually any database (MySQL, MongoDB, Google BigQuery, AWS, Snowflake, Databricks), is SOC 2 certified and GDPR compliant, and reports scale metrics including 48.3M+ analyst hours saved, 4.5B events monitored monthly, and roughly 5% of all U.S. SARs filed through the platform. Named customers include Brex, Chime, Crypto.com, Intuit, Green Dot, Rippling, Sallie Mae, and FIS.
