WorkFusion, a regtech company specializing in AI agents that fight financial crime, today announced that it has entered into a go-to-market partnership with Advanced Financial Solutions, a company within the MDS SI Group, a technology partner with a network of 60 companies across 11 countries. The strategic partnership will help accelerate the adoption of WorkFusion’s AI Digital Workers for anti-money laundering (AML) and anti-financial crime throughout the Middle East.
Advanced Financial Solutions will leverage its on-the-ground expertise, market knowledge, and regional infrastructure to introduce and establish WorkFusion’s AI agents within the region’s burgeoning financial services sector. WorkFusion’s AI Digital Workers automate document-heavy and laborious work and align with actual job roles in financial crime compliance organizations like adverse media and sanctions screening alert review, transaction monitoring, and KYC. Organizations can “hire” an AI AML analyst for a very specific job role to augment the team, improve program efficiency and mitigate risk.
“Working together with Advanced Financial Solutions, we will introduce our AI Digital Workers to banks and financial institutions throughout the Middle East,” said Adam Famularo, CEO of WorkFusion. “AI holds the promise to shape the anti-financial crime compliance industry in the region. By incorporating AI agents as a core component of their compliance programs, banks and financial institutions will be able to leapfrog over the historical challenges that plague AML programs in other parts of the world – establishing a true blueprint for modern anti-financial crime compliance operations.”
Comprised of more than 2,600 employees who have partnered with the largest firms in the world, MDS SI Group excels at providing a deep bench of expertise, local infrastructure, and successful execution. MDS SI Group’s experience in delivering advanced IT products and solutions to their customers has benefited their clients for over 40 years.
