WorkFusion Recognized for Agentic AI Innovation in 2025 AI Breakthrough Awards Program

Prestigious International Annual Awards Program Honors Standout AI Companies & Solutions

NEW YORK, June 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- WorkFusion, a pioneer in AI agents for financial crime compliance (FCC), today announced that its WorkFusion AI Agents solution has been named "AI-based Financial Services Solution of the Year" in the 8^th annual AI Breakthrough Awards program conducted by AI Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global Artificial Intelligence (AI) market today.

WorkFusion's pre-built AI Agents, Evan, Tara and Evelyn, help banks tackle the operations challenges of financial crime compliance including sanctions screening alert review and adverse media monitoring. Working alongside human colleagues, these digital workers automate repetitive, time-consuming tasks, allowing Level 1 analysts to focus on more complex investigations and decision-making – saving organizations time and money while strengthening overall compliance.

WorkFusion AI Agents review every alert and employ the same reasoning and procedures as L1 analysts. They then decide whether an alert requires further investigation or should be closed. WorkFusion AI Agents integrate into existing anti-financial crime software, systems, tools and other data sources, residing between them and operations staff - collaborating with both sides to perform end-to-end compliance processes.

"What sets our solution apart is the specialized knowledge built into our AI Agents as they have been designed from the ground up with financial crime workflows and regulatory expertise in mind," said Adam Famularo, CEO of WorkFusion. "With increasing volumes and backlogs, we are helping financial institutions by essentially upending the traditional way they review sanctions and adverse media alerts. When AI Agents augment a human team, expect to unlock capacity and accelerate business growth."

The AI Breakthrough Awards shine a spotlight on the boldest innovators and most impactful technologies leading the charge in AI across a comprehensive set of categories, including Generative AI, Computer Vision, AIOps, Agentic AI, Robotics, Natural Language Processing, industry-specific AI applications and many more. This year's program attracted more than 5,000 nominations from over 20 different countries throughout the world, underscoring the explosive growth and global importance of AI as a defining technology of the 21st century.

"WorkFusion's AI Agents are setting a new standard in financial crime compliance operations, helping banks finally modernize their FCC operations," said Steve Johansson, managing director, AI Breakthrough. "WorkFusion's AI Agents are helping banks to modernize financial crime compliance operations. By helping institutions to quickly and easily mitigate risk and improve program efficiency, their human workers are freed up to focus on higher-value investigations and improve customer satisfaction."

Leading banks using WorkFusion's AI Agents have reported cutting manual workloads by more than 60 percent and saving operational costs by more than 70 percent, with faster alert resolution and strengthened compliance.

Specifically trained for financial crime compliance, the AI Agents are equipped with a deep understanding of the banking industry's needs and also ensure that all actions meet regulatory standards and support MRM. Detailed audit trails and transparency is easily generated.
