Today, Lucinity turns six.

Six years ago, we set out to build something extraordinary—a company that could change how financial institutions fight crime. We wanted to build a trusted partner, an intelligent assistant—something that could transform a costly, legacy industry. 

I’m proud to say that we’ve surpassed our goals, and are now pursuing even greater opportunities to transform financial crime departments into the most streamlined operations in the financial sector.

Intelligence in Action: Leading a New Era of FinCrime Solutions

We’re building an AI platform that doesn’t just work with you but learns from you, and ultimately, works for you. We call this Intelligence in Action—a new standard that goes beyond what most compliance AI platforms are trying to achieve.

Our agnostic Financial Crime Operating System welcomes partners to bring their best tech into Lucinity’s platform through alerting and risk detection. Lucinity takes it further, streamlining workflows for alerts, cases, and investigations, working toward automation and efficiency. This collaborative approach gives our customers a seamless, integrated FinCrime ecosystem—enabling compliance teams to focus on truly fighting financial crime, with Lucinity simplifying the complexities. 

The Lucinity Platform: The Most Comprehensive FinCrime Operating System

Our journey began in FinCrime, where we set out to prove that AI could make a real, tangible difference. Today, our platform embeds AI at every step of the investigative process, empowering teams to focus on what truly matters: insightful analysis and high-value work. 

Our solutions excel in three ways:

  • Case Automation: We’ve transformed investigation workflows by embedding intelligence into every step, enabling institutions to focus on meaningful analysis instead of repetitive tasks.
  • Luci AI: At the heart of our platform, Luci, our AI copilot, augments decision-making, cutting investigation times from hours to minutes with full transparency and auditability.
  • Customer 360: A comprehensive view that integrates KYC, transactional, and behavioral data to help institutions anticipate risks and make data-driven decisions. 

Lucinity addresses the industry’s critical needs by being a one-stop solution powered by AI—aggregating, analyzing, and summarizing data while automating manual tasks to deliver accuracy and consistency. 

The Lucinity Vision in Three Phases

We’re building Lucinity’s capabilities through three phases:

  1. AI that Works With You: Luci started as an assistant, freeing teams from repetitive work and allowing them to focus on real challenges.
  2. AI Designed By You: Today, Luci adapts to each organization’s needs, becoming a configurable tool that empowers our clients with self-service capabilities and control.
  3. AI that Works For You: The future is fully autonomous Luci, managing complex tasks while compliance teams focus on strategy. This is the new era of FinCrime prevention.

Reflecting on Year Six

This year has been transformational, with milestones that showcase our commitment to reimagining financial services. Here’s what we’ve achieved:

  • Relentless Focus on Customer Success: We’ve welcomed more clients than ever, with Luci now live with several clients, enabling them to take investigations from hours to minutes. 
  • The AI Copilot Plug-In: With Luci’s generative AI capabilities available across any web-based platform, Luci now serves users on platforms like NICE Actimize, SAS, and Symphony AI—instantly bringing GenAI to our customers’ hands. This is the immediate value the industry needs.
  • A FinCrime Ecosystem Through Strategic Partnerships: Through our agnostic Financial Crime Operating System, we’ve partnered with leaders like Microsoft, Neterium, Facctum, Knights Analytics, Sift, and Resistant AI to create a one-stop solution for all compliance needs.
  • Recognition as Validation of Our Direction: Industry leaders have recognized our work with awards from ICA, Microsoft, and Chartis Research, and we’ve been featured in the Financial Times several times this year. This 3rd-party validation speaks volumes. 
  • Patent for Federated Learning: Our federated learning technology enables secure, collaborative intelligence-sharing without compromising sensitive data. We haven’t shared yet what we plan to do with the patent… we’ll save this for a future announcement.  

Looking Ahead

As Lucinity celebrates six years, we look back with pride and forward with even greater ambition. This is only the beginning—we’re committed to bringing our customers even faster and even smarter tech. Thank you to our clients, partners, and team who fuel this mission every day, and to a future where Lucinity continues to disrupt the FinCrime industry.
