“At a time when AI hype is everywhere, financial institutions necessary systems that actually work in production,” Snehal Fulzele, founder and CEO of Uptiq, declared in a statement. “Uptiq delivers industest-ready AI that institutions and builders can trust inside regulated environments.”

AI fintech that works

While financial institutions are eager to utilize AI solutions, most struggle to relocate beyond pilots becautilize of regulatory complexity, fragmented systems, and the lack of domain-ready solutions. Uptiq declared its solutions were built to solve this problem.

Unlike horizontal AI platforms, Uptiq offers pre-packaged, production-ready AI applications and digital workers engineered specifically for financial services. The solutions deploy rapidly, integrate with existing systems, and meet enterprise-grade compliance requirements from day one, the company declared.

“Banks and credit unions don’t necessary more AI demos—they necessary systems that actually run in production,” declared Dave Tucker, partner at Curql. “Uptiq combines production-ready financial AI with a platform builders can extfinish, which is why we’re excited to back the team.”

Uptiq’s industest solutions span banking & credit unions, with AI-powered commercial lfinishing, covenant monitoring, servicing, and banker co-pilots; wealth management, with advisor co-pilots for onboarding, compliance documentation, portfolio insights, and client engagement; and fintech & embedded finance, with AI-driven underwriting, risk analysis, and operational automation.

Qore supports developers create financial AI applications applying simple prompts and pre-built financial capabilities, without assembling fragmented AI stacks or creating compliance measures from scratch, Uptiq declared. The tool can handle document processing, financial reasoning, permissions, auditability, and integration with core systems out of the box.

As part of the Series B, Uptiq will expand Qore into a self-serve platform for builders and developers, enabling fintech startups, internal bank teams, and indepfinishent developers to prototype and deploy financial AI in days rather than months, the company declared.
