WealthAi Launches AI-powered Compliance Solution for Wealth Managers

WealthAi, the AI operating system built for wealth management, is launching its Compliance Solution – an agentic AI tool that helps compliance teams monitor, flag and audit client communications in real time, replacing the manual spot-checks and spreadsheets that have become endemic across the wealth management industry.

The problem

Compliance teams at wealth management firms are under mounting pressure. The FCA’s own review of financial crime risk assessments in late 2025 found widespread weaknesses across the sector, including controls that don’t reflect how firms actually operate and inadequate tracking of mitigation actions. A separate review of wealth management firms found that few are tailoring their controls to how their business actually operates, and fewer still can demonstrate how their risk assessments translate into day-to-day monitoring*.  

The solution

WealthAi’s Compliance Solution is built around a simple principle that compliance monitoring should always be on. Rather than reviewing samples, WealthAi’s agents continuously analyse all communications data, surfacing signals and flagging issues in real time before they become problems. 

The Compliance Solution comprises three agents, each built for a distinct role within the compliance function. 

The Compliance Portal is designed specifically for the Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) and their team. It gives them a live, prioritised dashboard of flagged communications, scored against a consistent set of criteria every time, with full audit trails and time-range reports ready for regulators.

The Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) Agent is designed specifically for the Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) and Head of Surveillance and their teams. It monitors communications against MAR obligations, flagging insider dealing indicators, market manipulation language and front-running signals – with the regulatory rationale documented behind every flag.

The Trade Surveillance Agent enables compliance teams to upload trade data directly from brokerages or custodians into the Compliance Portal, automatically surfacing the communications relevant to each trade. This allows teams to review risk at a transaction level, not just across communications in isolation.

All three agents draw from the same connected communication channels, including Global Relay, Microsoft Outlook, WhatsApp and Teams, and produce auditable output that meets FCA requirements. With development work happening to support other regulatory bodies such as FINMA, JFSC and Consob as WealthAi expands its operations across additional jurisdictions beyond the UK; such as Switzerland, Jersey and Italy.

Further agents, including a Transaction Reporting Agent and a Suitability Monitoring Agent, are planned to extend the platform’s compliance capabilities across the full range of regulatory obligations facing wealth management firms.

Jason Nabi, founder and CEO of WealthAi, said: “Compliance and risk are the foundation on which client trust in wealth management is built – which is why we made it one of our first use cases. For too long, compliance teams have been asked to meet increasingly demanding regulatory requirements with tools that simply weren’t built for the job. Spreadsheets and sample-based monitoring leave gaps, and those gaps carry real risk. We believe AI can change that, not by replacing compliance professionals, but by giving them the tools to do their jobs with far greater confidence and far less friction.”

WealthAi has formed a steering group of wealth management partners, including Saranac Partners and Patronus Partners. This group is working closely with the WealthAi team to provide feedback as the solution develops and expands, with the intention that these partners will become users once the product is fully available to all wealth managers.

Philip Dench, Head of Risk & Compliance at Saranac Partners, commented: “WealthAi has the potential to revolutionise compliance monitoring and risk management, saving an incredible amount of time spent manually searching for key data.”

Penny Rooney, Compliance Director at Patronus Partners, added: “WealthAi aims to help compliance teams focus on the higher value key tasks by gathering data and automating workflows that can be time consuming.  This offers the promise of far greater focus on proactive support of the business, with confidence in the data governance and robustness of the process.”

Built for regulated workflows

The Compliance Solution is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing compliance workflows rather than replace them. It is built with enterprise-grade security, full audit trails and privacy controls from the ground up. This gives firms a fully operational AI capability without the cost, complexity or risk of an internal build. Implementation takes weeks, not months.

The Compliance Solution follows the recent launch of Strategy-to-Execution agents designed for portfolio managers, and is one of several agents going live on the WealthAi platform. The platform connects to firms’ existing systems and data, and is accessed via the WealthAi Assistant – a desktop application that gives every employee their own AI assistant to manage tasks on their behalf via specialised AI agents across front, middle and back office functions.

Through the WealthAi Marketplace, clients can access best-in-class providers including SIX, Morningstar, Capital Economics, MDOTM and Axyon, with a data layer connecting to more than 250 custodians and banks.

WealthAi is backed by Fuel Ventures and Founders Factory.
