UiPath buys WorkFusion to scale AML automation

February 24, 2026

UiPath and WorkFusion have entered into an acquisition agreement that expands UiPath’s industry-focused automation capabilities within financial services and banking.

The acquisition is designed to strengthen UiPath’s portfolio of agentic AI-powered solutions tailored to the financial services sector, particularly in the area of financial crime compliance. By integrating WorkFusion’s pre-built AI agents, UiPath aims to enhance automation across anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) processes. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed in the original announcement.

UiPath is widely recognised for its agentic automation and orchestration platform, enabling organisations to automate complex business processes at scale. Its technology combines AI-driven agents with workflow orchestration, helping enterprises streamline operations, improve efficiency and maintain governance and regulatory oversight across critical functions.

WorkFusion specialises in AI agents built specifically for financial crime compliance. Its pre-configured library of AI-driven tools automates some of the most labour-intensive tasks in compliance operations, including customer screening, transaction monitoring and investigations. These capabilities are particularly relevant for banks and financial institutions facing increasing regulatory scrutiny and sophisticated financial crime threats.

By combining WorkFusion’s compliance-focused AI agents with UiPath’s broader automation and orchestration infrastructure, financial institutions will be able to automate intricate workflows, detect and analyse complex patterns, and prioritise high-risk cases that require human intervention. The integrated offering is designed to support security, governance and regulatory controls, while reducing operational costs and improving compliance effectiveness.

The move reflects a broader industry trend towards agentic AI solutions capable of not only automating discrete tasks but orchestrating end-to-end compliance workflows. Financial institutions are under mounting pressure to modernise legacy systems, increase operational resilience and respond to evolving regulatory requirements. The acquisition positions UiPath to deepen its presence in financial services with purpose-built solutions.

WorkFusion’s established footprint in financial crime compliance provides UiPath with immediate domain expertise and pre-trained AI agents tailored to AML and KYC operations. The combined capabilities are expected to accelerate innovation in financial crime prevention and compliance transformation across global banking markets.

WorkFusion CEO Adam Famularo said, “Joining UiPath is a moment of validation for the years our team has poured into creating something bold, different, and deeply needed in financial crime compliance, AI agents that automate work and mitigate risk. Now, UiPath gives us the scale to grow faster than we ever could alone, without losing the heart of who we are, our people, our products, and our mission.

“Together, we’re creating something bigger than any one company: we are modernizing financial crime compliance. I’ve never been more excited for our future or more proud of the team carrying us there.”

UiPath CEO Daniel Dines said, “Financial institutions need intelligent solutions to combat sophisticated financial crimes and navigate evolving compliance requirements. Incorporating WorkFusion’s purpose-built AI agents for financial crime compliance into our platform expands our portfolio of agentic AI solutions for these industries, extending our ability to deliver comprehensive business orchestration and automation solutions to our customers. We’re delivering a powerful set of AI-powered solutions capable of automating and orchestrating critical compliance processes and workflows while working alongside people to deliver impact.”
