Nasdaq’s anti-financial crime technology unit, Nasdaq Verafin, on Wednesday announced two new role-based agentic workers, the Agentic AML Analyst and the Agentic Fraud Analyst, with general availability expected in Q3 2026.
The Agentic AML Analyst will launch focused on cash structuring alerts, while the Agentic Fraud Analyst, the company’s first fraud-specific agent, will triage alerts for unusual ACH activity. Both are designed to automate manual investigation workflows.
Nasdaq Verafin also said it plans to offer the agentic workforce as a standalone solution that can overlay across third-party systems as well as its own platform. Beta testing for that deployment model is set to begin in the second half of 2026.
Among planned enhancements, alert auto-dispositioning will let the agents autonomously close false positive alerts. The company said institutions will be able to set the level of automation and human review based on their risk appetite.
More than 650 financial institutions have adopted Nasdaq Verafin’s agentic AI solutions since the first two workers launched late last year. The company said initial customer results showed up to a 90% reduction in sanctions alert review workload from the Agentic Sanctions Analyst.
Nasdaq Verafin’s broader platform serves more than 2,800 financial institutions representing $12 trillion in collective assets.
