Weber, who is also a former president of Germany’s central bank, was joined by Dan Cobley, former managing director at Google UK, senior executives from Barclays, the co-founder of Onfido and others.

Unlike general-purpose AI systems, Vivox AI’s agents operate as independent, auditable units, each responsible for a clearly defined task across onboarding, KYB, due diligence and financial crime workflows. The architecture is designed to allow financial institutions to deploy AI in production environments while maintaining regulatory control, auditability and operational accountability.

At the heart of the platform is a self-learning AI agent layer, implemented through Vivox AI’s agent, Rachel, which continuously improves performance through supervised feedback from most experienced human analysts, while preserving explainability and governance controls. The agents can securely connect to multiple internal and external data sources, enabling real-time enrichment and decision support across complex compliance processes.

The platform is already deployed across enterprise customers operating in more than 100 countries, including the UK, Europe, US and Singapore, with clients including TransferMate, Altery, Osome and Telf.

The funding will be used to expand Vivox AI’s core platform and advance a new class of agents designed specifically for highly regulated financial institutions.

Tim Khamzin, CEO, Vivox AI, says: “The role of the compliance analyst is rapidly evolving into that of a compliance engineer, focused on managing complex investigations and supervising AI agents rather than manual, repetitive processes. Our platform is designed to support this shift, enabling teams to operate with greater control, transparency and regulatory confidence.”

Adds Weber: “In today’s environment, transparency, auditability, and regulatory alignment are not optional - they are a must. Vivox AI is building the blueprint for how regulated financial institutions should integrate AI safely and responsibly.”
