Financial crime compliance is breaking under its own weight. Alerts pile up, SARs drag on for weeks, and analysts are stuck stitching together decisions across ten different tools. Sphinx is your last compliance hire. AI agents that work directly on top of your existing systems to run AML, KYC/KYB, transaction monitoring, and SAR filings end-to-end. No new tooling, no engineering lift. We're live with banks, public companies, and fintechs across 10 countries. In production. Sphinx is automating up to 92% of compliance operations and cutting costs by up to 4x.
