Sphinx is a San Francisco–based company that develops customizable, browser-native intelligent agents designed to automate end-to-end compliance workflows for banks, fintechs, and neobanks. The platform runs on top of customers’ existing systems without requiring engineering resources and logs every decision for full auditability and explainability. By eliminating manual reviews, Sphinx helps financial institutions reduce operational risk and accelerate compliant expansion into new markets. The company’s agents cover core anti–money laundering (AML), know-your-customer (KYC), and know-your-business (KYB) processes. Sphinx plans to use its recent capital to scale its agentic compliance workforce to meet rising demand. While specific revenue or user metrics were not disclosed, the firm reports engagement with large banks and global fintechs, underscoring early market traction. To date, Sphinx has raised $7.1 million in seed funding to fuel its growth.
