Bretton AI, formerly known as Greenlite AI, has announced a $75 million Series B funding round and officially rebranded to reflect its expanded mission to establish the industry standard for artificial intelligence in financial crime prevention. The company, based in San Francisco, is focused on transforming how regulated financial institutions detect and combat fraud, money laundering, and other financial crimes using advanced AI technologies. The funding round was led by Sapphire Ventures, with continued support from all existing institutional investors, including Greylock, Thomson Reuters Ventures, Canvas Ventures, and Y Combinator. New investors also joined the round, signaling strong market confidence in Bretton AI’s vision and technology. The rebrand from Greenlite AI to Bretton AI underscores the company’s ambition to go beyond its initial focus on transaction monitoring and become a foundational platform for AI-driven financial crime operations. Bretton AI’s platform leverages machine learning and natural language processing to analyze vast volumes of transactional and behavioral data, enabling financial institutions to detect suspicious activity with greater accuracy and speed while reducing false positives. The company’s technology is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing compliance systems, helping banks and financial firms meet evolving regulatory requirements more efficiently. By automating complex workflows and providing deeper insights, Bretton AI aims to shift financial crime detection from reactive to proactive, helping institutions stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated threats. With the new capital, Bretton AI plans to accelerate product development, expand its engineering and research teams, and deepen partnerships with global financial institutions and regulators. The company also intends to broaden its geographic footprint, particularly in Europe and Asia, where regulatory scrutiny around financial crime is intensifying. The move comes amid growing demand for AI-powered compliance solutions, as financial institutions face mounting pressure to modernize legacy systems that are often slow, error-prone, and unable to keep pace with emerging risks. Bretton AI’s approach is gaining traction as a way to future-proof compliance operations in an era of rapid technological change. The company’s leadership team emphasized that the rebrand is more than a name change—it represents a strategic evolution in how AI is deployed across financial crime workflows. “We’re not just building a tool,” said a company spokesperson. “We’re building the standard for how AI should work in this space—reliable, transparent, and aligned with regulatory expectations.”
