The story

Founded in 2018 as an AML compliance software company targeting banks and fintechs, Lucinity built a platform combining transaction monitoring, case management, and Customer 360° views. Over time, the company leaned into AI augmentation, launching its Luci GenAI Copilot/AI Agent to automate complex FinCrime investigations.
