ANNA Money Becomes First UK Financial Institution to Prove LLM/Agent Capability in Company Registration
With agentic AI emerging as the next big shift in technology, ANNA Money is proud to announce that it has successfully proven its ability to work directly with Large Language Model (LLM) agents to complete one of the most complex, highly regulated onboarding processes in UK business… company registration with full authorisation, identity verification and payment.
Imagine you wanted to register your business. It can be frustrating – you’ve got to fill in online forms, hand over information, prove your identity and make the payment. But what if an LLM could do all that work for you?
In recent tests, ANNA used an LLM agent as though it was a human customer that wanted to register a business. The LLM agent completed the entire journey through ANNA’s web interface – collecting all required details, navigating secure logins, completing identity checks, handling the payment process, and submitting the application to Companies House. It then confirmed that the new ANNA business account was open and ready, complete with a virtual card available for immediate use.
“Frankly, the fact it worked first-time was extraordinary,” says Boris Diakonov, co-founder and co-CEO at ANNA. “LLM agents can struggle with something as common as checking in for a flight, yet here we saw it handle one of the most complicated and regulated sign-up processes in the UK – end-to-end, payment included. That’s a real milestone for agentic AI in financial services.”
While this success was achieved using ANNA’s existing systems, the company is already developing a dedicated “robot-ready” integration to make the process even more seamless for LLMs and autonomous agents. In the near future, any AI-powered assistant embedded in a platform, app, or device will be able to register companies and open business accounts for their users in a matter of minutes.
“By being first to prove this capability, ANNA is positioning itself at the forefront of the AI-powered economy, where autonomous software doesn’t just assist people, it acts on their behalf to get things done,” says Boris. “It’s a breakthrough that demonstrates ANNA’s leadership in financial innovation and its readiness for the next generation of digital business services.”
