UiPath Launches Agentic Solutions to Strengthen Fraud Prevention and Accelerate Lending

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.

agentic ai technical

Agentic AI refers to computer systems that can make their own decisions and take actions without needing someone to tell them what to do each time. It's like giving a robot a degree of independence to solve problems or achieve goals on its own, which matters because it could change how we work and interact with technology in everyday life.

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.

ofac regulatory

OFAC is the U.S. Treasury agency that administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions, using a publicly maintained list to block certain people, companies, and countries from moving money or doing business. Think of OFAC as a referee who enforces rules about who is allowed to play and who is barred from the field. Investors need to watch OFAC actions because sanctions can freeze assets, halt deals, complicate payments, and create legal and reputational risks that affect valuations and trading.

underwriting financial

Underwriting is the process where a financial institution agrees to buy and then resell new stocks or bonds to investors. It matters because it helps companies raise money quickly and smoothly, while the bank takes on the risk of selling those securities at the agreed price. Think of it like a booker guaranteeing to sell all tickets for a concert before opening the doors.

New solutions automate financial crime investigations and loan origination and compliance workflows, dramatically improving operational efficiency and ensuring a seamless borrowing experience

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- UiPath (NYSE: PATH), a global leader in agentic automation, today announced new purpose-built agentic AI solutions designed to help financial institutions automate complex operational workflows across financial crime, compliance, and loan origination while maintaining the security, transparency, and auditability required for regulatory compliance.

Financial institutions face mounting pressure from evolving regulatory requirements, heightened fraud risk, and growing expectations for faster, more seamless lending experiences—these challenges are often compounded by operational and data bottlenecks that slow investigations, delay loan decisions, and increase compliance risk. To address these issues, UiPath developed new purpose-built agentic AI solutions complemented by the recent acquisition of WorkFusion, a pioneer in AI agents for financial crime compliance, further strengthening UiPath’s portfolio of agentic AI-powered solutions for the financial services industry.

“Banks and financial institutions are balancing two critical pressures, stricter regulatory expectations and growing demand for faster customer decisions,” said Mark Rubinstein, Director of Product Management, Financial Services Solutions at UiPath. “UiPath Solutions address both by automating and orchestrating workflows across fraud detection, compliance, and lending — equipping teams to focus on high-value exceptions rather than full end-to-end reviews and accelerating transformation with minimal disruption. By integrating with and enhancing existing systems, banks can modernize at their own pace while minimizing disruption. This allows lending and compliance teams to move faster without compromising governance, providing them with full visibility and control while delivering a more efficient review experience.”

Financial Services: Financial Crime Compliance

Incorporating WorkFusion’s purpose-built AI agents for financial crime compliance into the UiPath Platform, the UiPath Solution for Financial Crime Compliance automates key analyst workflows including sanctions screening, alert review and adverse media monitoring—helping financial institutions reduce alert backlogs, improve investigator productivity, and strengthen regulatory compliance while maintaining robust governance and auditability.

AI agents analyze watchlist alerts, review contextual information across internal and external data sources, and identify and elevate relevant cases to investigators. Additionally, the adverse media agent continuously scans multiple news and information sources to detect and surface negative news mentions, dramatically reducing manual research time to provide early warning for fraudulent, risky client relationships while improving review consistency and expanding risk coverage.

"Since implementing an AI agent for Transaction Screening Alert Review, we’ve automated 61% of sanction-hit reviews and are handling an average of 14,000 alerts monthly, freeing up branch and operations resources, enabling faster payments, and improving the employee experience,” said Onni Chan, Sanctions Compliance Manager, Valley National Bank. “This has been a significant win for us, driving a meaningful reduction in our OFAC volumes while helping us innovate and scale.”

Banking: Loan Origination

For banking institutions, loan origination still has many manual and time-consuming steps, with many lenders relying on manual data entry, paper-based documents, and human review during underwriting.

The UiPath Solution for Loan Origination works seamlessly with existing loan origination systems, core banking platforms, and data sources to streamline the manual loan setup and QA/QC sub-processes. This enables lending teams to make informed decisions quickly and easily, with strong quality assurance and compliance to mitigate risk and ensure regulatory adherence.

The solution leverages UiPath Maestro™ to orchestrate AI agents, automation workflows, and human decision making across existing lending platforms to automate loan review and validation, perform risk analysis, and manage auditing and escalations. By integrating seamlessly with existing systems, banks can accelerate loan processing times, reduce operational risk, and improve borrower experiences.

“At LMCU, we are continually seeking new ways to enhance efficiency and deliver exceptional service to our members,” said Julie Oziemkiewicz, Director of Home Equity at LMCU. “Partnering with UiPath has allowed us to uncover valuable opportunities for automation within our Home Equity process. We’re grateful to partner with UiPath and value their strong reputation, and we are excited about how their automation solutions can deliver benefits our members at LMCU.”

“UiPath has partnered with Suncoast to streamline the review and audit process by collaborating on a platform designed to ingest loan documents, compare them to the system of record, and provide the team with quick insights,” said Dottie Dunn, Intelligent Automation Director at Suncoast Credit Union. “This approach aims to speed up the review process and increase the team’s capacity.”
