Taktile, an AI transformation platform for financial institutions, has closed a $110m Series C funding round led by Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives.
Joining Goldman Sachs in the round were existing and new backers including Balderton Capital, Index Ventures, Tiger Global, Y Combinator, and Dig Ventures. The capital will be channelled into enhancing Taktile’s AI capabilities for complex banking and insurance applications, as well as broadening its presence across the US, EMEA, and LATAM.
Demand for the platform gained considerable momentum throughout 2025, as AI models matured to a point where they could reliably take over high-stakes decision-making tasks that had traditionally absorbed significant human resource, including assessing insurance claims, evaluating business loan applications, and identifying financial crime. A turning point came in December 2025 when Taktile Labs, the company’s applied AI research institute, concluded that frontier models had reached a capability threshold sufficient for these critical financial workflows. Financial institutions currently spend heavily on such operations: according to Moody’s, firms commit an average of $72.9m per year to KYC and AML processes alone.
Clients are already seeing tangible results from deploying the platform. One of the world’s largest insurers is running several use cases through Taktile, with anticipated cost savings exceeding $90m in claims processing. Elsewhere, the company has achieved 95% automation in B2B underwriting and helped cut AML false positives by 75% for customers that include Mercury, Monzo, Faire, and Pleo.
Taktile helps banks and insurers transition into AI-native organisations, enabling them to build, oversee, and operate autonomous agent-driven decisions within a framework that business leaders across credit, fraud, and underwriting functions can understand and manage. Unlike general-purpose AI tooling aimed at engineering teams, Taktile is purpose-built for regulated financial services environments, where errors in automated decisions can have significant financial and regulatory consequences.
The new funding builds on the company’s track record of deploying AI agents within complex, heavily regulated enterprises. Taktile Labs, founded as the firm’s applied research arm, continues to monitor capability thresholds and translate advances in frontier AI into production-ready solutions for the financial sector.
Taktile CEO and co-founder Maik Taro Wehmeyer said, “General purpose AI tooling is fine for simple automations, but it isn’t sufficient for operating mission-critical financial decisions where errors can cost millions. Today, thousands of employees process these decisions manually. Leaders want to redeploy that capacity to higher-value work, while ensuring every outcome—whether human or AI-driven—remains the best for the business and customers. This is what Taktile enables.”
