In June 2026, notable developments in FinTech included FIS and Anthropic's partnership to enhance anti-money-laundering processes with AI, Revolut's launch of its first physical store in Barcelona, and NatWest's introduction of a ChatGPT app for mortgage advice. The month also featured insights from Kraken's co-CEO on the convergence of cash and crypto.
The partnership between FIS and Anthropic to launch a Financial Crimes AI Agent represents a significant advancement in automating anti-money-laundering (AML) investigations, decreasing the review time from hours to minutes. This development could be a key investment signal or strategic partnership opportunity for those looking to enhance AML capabilities in fintech operations, and it underscores the critical role AI is playing in advancing compliance and regulatory technologies.
