The global market for AI in financial services was worth around $14.9bn in 2024. On current projections it reaches $50.7bn by 2034. That kind of growth tells you where the money is going but it tells you less about what is actually working.

From experimentation to deployment

The more telling shift this year is that firms have spent the past few years piloting AI, running experiments, testing what the technology could do. The question has now moved on, it is no longer whether AI is impressive in a demo, but whether it holds up in production, under real conditions, in decisions where getting it wrong carries a cost. The market is moving from experimentation to deployment.

Named to the AIFinTech100 2026

This week, we were named to the AIFinTech100 2026.

Published by FinTech Global, the AIFinTech100 is the sixth annual list of the companies shaping AI in financial services. This year more than 2,000 companies were assessed; 100 made the final cut.

We are on it for the work that has defined us from the start: AI that regulated institutions can actually depend on, where every decision can be traced, checked, and shown to a third party.

What is the list telling

What is striking is how the framing around the list has changed. FinTech Global’s CEO, Richard Sachar, described this year’s selection as a move away from what the technology can do toward “whether it delivers reliably in real-world use.” That is the exact shift we have spent years building toward. For a long time the conversation rewarded capability, the demo that dazzled. But the institutions deploying AI into credit, fraud, compliance and underwriting have learned that the harder test comes after the demo: can you explain the decision when a regulator asks?

Read this year’s list that way and it looks less like a roster of clever tools and more like a map of who is solving that question. The market is maturing. And in regulated industries, maturity does not look like more capability. It looks like accountability.

Proud to be recognised among the companies getting that right.
