Vivox AI - streamlining compliance with modular AI agents
Vivox AI, a London-based RegTech, transforms compliance by using AI-driven "atomic agents" for efficient AML and KYC processes. This FinTech of My Choice pick streamlines investigations, reducing time and false positives, ensuring compliance survival.
I felt that same thing building fintech products. The computer is simply better at the boring search work that humans still waste hours on.
Fintech of my choice: Vivox AI
Compliance teams are drowning, and not because they are lazy. AML and KYC investigations are still a lot of copy, paste, screenshots, and “let me check one more database”. It is expensive, slow, and it burns out good people.
Vivox AI is a RegTech company in London that builds what they call regulator-ready “atomic agents”. Each agent does one job well, like scanning corporate registries, mapping beneficial owners, screening sanctions and PEP lists, or helping orchestrate a SAR filing. The key point is modularity. A bank or fintech can assemble the workflow they need, and still keep control of the process.
This is exactly where AI is already better than me. In fintech, “AI is better at search” becomes “AI is better at customer checks”. It finds company data faster, connects ownership chains more reliably, and keeps a clean trail for auditors. Humans should make judgments. Machines should do grunt work.
The traction looks serious. Vivox raised £1.3M in its first round, led by Axel Weber (former UBS chairman) and Dan Cobley (ex Google UK chief), alongside investors Kos Stiskin and James Janis Berdigans. They say the platform is deployed across enterprises in 100+ countries, with clients like TransferMate, Altery, Osome, and Telf.
The numbers that caught my eye are the operational ones. Banks report going from six hours per case to 30 minutes, with false positives down by up to 86%. And up to 50% of cases can go straight through without a human touch. In a world of tighter AML rules and shrinking margins, that is not “nice to have”. That is survival.

If I were running compliance today, I would pilot Vivox on one painful workflow first, then expand agent by agent. The future is not one giant black box. It is small tools you can trust and measure.
Where in your compliance flow do you feel the biggest drag today: beneficial ownership, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring alerts, or SAR writing?
