Problem

Greenlite solves the expensive, labor-intensive problem of financial-crime compliance for banks, fintechs, broker-dealers, and other regulated institutions. KYC and AML teams often rely on outsourced analysts or large internal operations to process routine reviews, while investigators spend much of their time moving data between systems, clearing false positives, and documenting cases rather than analyzing genuine risk. KYC work can take weeks, a substantial share of review tasks remains manual, and false-alert volume creates both staffing expense and alert fatigue.

The central use case is automating first-line KYC and AML alert handling: clearing benign screening and transaction-monitoring alerts, investigating customers, and preparing cases for escalation. This addresses a highly repeatable workflow with direct economics—reducing dependence on BPOs and headcount while allowing human investigators to focus on complex, risk-based decisions.

Product / Service

Greenlite offers an AI-agent workforce for compliance operations, now marketed as Bretton AI following its February 2026 rebrand. Its agents learn an institution’s alert-review procedures, operate on the organization’s data and policies, connect to hundreds of data sources, and handle routine KYC, KYB, AML, sanctions, customer due-diligence, and ongoing-monitoring work. Users can configure policies, data sources, and tolerance thresholds; the agents investigate cases, clear routine alerts, explain their reasoning, and escalate cases requiring human judgment with enriched, audit-ready narratives.

The delivery model is an agentic operations platform rather than a stand-alone screening database. It combines prebuilt workflow skills, natural-language agent building, a shared human-and-agent workbench, system integrations, and trust infrastructure that logs evidence, reasoning, model versions, evaluations, and quality controls. The promised benefit is faster capacity expansion without proportional hiring, better transparency and consistency, and lower compliance operating costs while keeping final risk-based decisions with qualified employees.

Market

Greenlite competes in regtech and the emerging market for agentic AI-powered financial-crime and compliance operations. Its competitive set includes established KYC and client-lifecycle platforms such as Fenergo, AI-enabled AML vendors such as Strise and Napier AI, and broader fraud/AML platforms such as Sardine. It also overlaps with specialist data providers such as Sayari and Kyckr, although Greenlite’s differentiation is the automation of investigative work and operational decisions on top of a customer’s existing data, policies, and systems.

The company is clearly deployed commercially rather than pre-revenue. Greenlite reported customers including Ramp, Mercury, Betterment, Gusto, RSM UK, and U.S. banks; later Bretton materials added regulated institutions and platforms including Robinhood, Lead Bank, and Coastal Community Bank. Reported traction includes more than 1.2 million completed Level 1 and Level 2 investigations, over 195,000 hours of manual compliance work eliminated, more than $10 million in customer headcount and risk-related savings, five new publicly traded customers in 2025, and a $75 million Series B led by Sapphire Ventures announced alongside the rebrand.
