Marble, a Paris-based fraud detection and anti-money laundering (AML) compliance platform, has secured €6.5m in Series A funding as it looks to make AI-driven automation more widely used by mid-market banks and FinTechs, according to EU-Startups.
Smartfin, a European venture capital and private equity firm backing high-growth B2B technology businesses, led the investment. ADNEXUS also joined the round, alongside existing investors Passion, 42Capital and Hexa. The funding brings Marble’s total raised to €9m, with TSIC also among its existing investors.
Marble will use the funding to embed AI more deeply into compliance workflows and shorten deployment times at banks and FinTechs. The company has identified four priorities: AI-powered automation, faster deployment, agentic compliance and adaptable systems.
This includes applying AI to rule creation, alert triage and case investigation, alongside on-premises deployments that connect to a bank’s existing data rather than requiring months of transformation work. Marble is also developing native AI agents restricted to the data they are authorised to access.
The company also wants to turn rule and workflow updates into routine configuration work for compliance officers, reducing the need to launch a new technology project for each change.
Arnaud Schwartz and Pascal Delange, both former executives at French FinTech Shine, founded Marble in 2021. They said their experience managing financial crime compliance at Shine showed them that existing tools often added another layer of complexity rather than reducing manual work.
Marble’s no-code platform allows compliance and risk teams to create their own transaction monitoring rules without relying on vendors or IT departments. It also supports sanctions and watchlist screening, investigations and reporting, customer risk scoring and A/B testing of rules against live data.
The platform can be deployed on-premises or as SaaS, while its open-source core gives auditors visibility into how decisions are reached. Marble says the platform protects more than 3bn transactions annually and reduces manual review work by 90%.
The company reports that its platform is now deployed at more than 100 institutions across over 25 countries. Nearly 70% of its customers are based outside France, while 70% adopted Marble to replace an existing solution.
Marble is targeting more than €5m in annual recurring revenue by 2027 as it seeks to make automated, AI-powered compliance a standard part of financial crime operations.
Smartfin partner Saumitra Dubey said, “Marble makes automation the default, on the customer’s own infrastructure. Our conviction is that Marble becomes the structurally differentiated, modern financial crime operating system for mid-market banks and fintechs. That’s why we led this round.”
Marble CEO and co-founder Arnaud Schwartz said, “Compliance teams shouldn’t have to choose between staying compliant and moving fast. That’s exactly what we built Marble to solve. As the regulatory bar keeps rising, compliance teams are expected to do more with the same headcount. Our job is to make sure that it is Marble that absorbs that complexity and not our customers.”
Passion Capital partner Will Orde said, “More than 100 institutions now run Marble in production. When conviction meets execution like that, it’s simple: you lean in.”
