UiPath Acquires WorkFusion, Strengthening Agentic Solutions for Financial Services

Key Terms

agentic automation technical

Agentic automation refers to computer systems that can make decisions and perform tasks on their own, without needing a person to control every step. It’s like a smart robot that can analyze information and act independently, which can help businesses work faster and more efficiently—but also raises questions about oversight and reliability.

ai agents technical

AI agents are computer programs designed to perform tasks or make decisions automatically, often by learning from data and adapting to new information. They act like virtual assistants or robots that can handle complex activities without human intervention, which can help businesses and individuals save time and improve efficiency. For investors, AI agents matter because they can enhance decision-making and automate processes that influence markets and financial outcomes.

financial crime compliance regulatory

Financial crime compliance is the set of policies, checks and controls a company uses to prevent illegal money-related activities such as money laundering, fraud, bribery, terrorist financing and violations of sanctions. Like locks, alarms and routine inspections for a house, these measures protect a business’s cash, reputation and ability to operate; weak compliance can lead to large fines, legal trouble, lost customers and falling investor confidence.

anti-money laundering (aml) regulatory

Anti-money laundering (AML) is the set of laws, checks and internal controls that financial firms and other regulated businesses use to detect and stop criminals from disguising illegal money as legitimate. Like locks and ID checks at an airport, AML systems track where money comes from and who is using it to reduce fraud, corruption and financing of crime. For investors, strong AML compliance lowers the risk of heavy fines, operational disruption and reputational damage that can hurt a company’s value.

aml regulatory

AML stands for anti-money laundering — the laws, rules and internal checks that banks and businesses use to spot and stop illicit cash flows, such as proceeds from crime or funding of illegal activities. Think of it as a security checkpoint for money: investors care because poor AML controls can lead to heavy fines, frozen assets and reputational harm that hurt profits and share value, while strong controls reduce legal and operational risk.

know your customer (kyc) regulatory

"Know your customer (KYC)" is the process financial institutions use to verify the identity of their clients before providing services. It helps prevent illegal activities like fraud or money laundering by ensuring the person they are dealing with is genuine. For investors, KYC offers reassurance that their transactions are protected and conducted with trustworthy parties.

kyc regulatory

KYC (Know Your Customer) is the routine of checks and questions that financial firms use to confirm who a client is, understand their financial profile, and spot risky or illegal activity. It matters to investors because it helps prevent fraud and money laundering, ensures companies follow the law, and protects the integrity of markets—think of it like an identity and background check a bank or airport runs before allowing access.
