FIS AML Investigations Agent Now Commercially Available to Help Banks Tackle the Scale and Cost of Financial Crime Compliance

FIS® announced that the FIS AML Investigations Agent that was jointly announced in May 2026 with Anthropic, is now commercially available to any U.S.-based bank, including those that are not FIS clients today. This is the first solution of its kind from a provider that already operates the core banking, payments and data infrastructure financial crime investigations depend on, with built-in controls that keep analysts in command of every decision.

FIS built the agent with support from Anthropic and design partner Amalgamated Bank. The agent is now being deployed at Amalgamated.

The scale of the challenge is significant. U.S. financial institutions spend an estimated $35 to $40 billion a year on anti-money laundering operations (LexisNexis, 2023), yet analysts devote 40 to 60 percent of investigation time to assembling data before analysis can begin (AnChain.AI, 2025). Industry false-positive rates run between 90 and 95 percent (Datos Insights, 2023). Alert volumes keep climbing. The gap is not analytical capacity – it is the manual evidence assembly that consumes it.

Based on Amalgamated’s analysis of its investigation workflows combined with the AML Investigations Agent’s expected abilities, the agent is projected to reduce Level 1 alert review time by more than 90 percent, Level 2 case investigation time by approximately 98 percent, and SAR narrative preparation time by more than 80 percent – freeing investigators to redirect capacity from data assembly to complex cases that require greater judgment.

The agent applies customer-specific context to every investigation rather than treating all alerts the same.
