AI & Finance™ | News for the Week Ending 7/4/25

1247

Welcome to another rundown of artificial intelligence in financial services news, amid ramping celebrations of not just another U.S. Independence Day, but also the lead in to a 250th birthday party in 2026, we’re also looking at some fireworks in AI & Finance. 

But first, we want to talk about where traditional financial services will thrive as the industry evolves towards more automation and accelerated consolidation, and for most consumers and potential clients, most financial services are reduced to buttons on a dashboard or apps on their mobile devices.  

Even as most of what we call financial services becomes another piece of the greater technology sector, there is still an ecosystem in which traditional providers—banks, insurance companies, accounting firms, wealth managers and the like—will not just survive, but thrive. 

These providers can’t beat technology at its own game.  

Technology is already better at serving people at scale, especially people who only need a limited number of services at any given time and who need to access those services at low cost. 

Technology is already a better general financial practitioner than any business or individual in the traditional financial services industry. 

Technology already beats humans at tasks like online marketing, client onboarding, portfolio/investment/asset management, compliance, corporate finance, accounting, cashflow management, insurance planning, retirement planning, tax planning and optimization, philanthropic planning and legacy planning, and these areas are already coming to be dominated by technology. 

Yes, technology is already better at these things—and it’s getting better all the time, at an accelerating pace, and over time technology is picking up the abilities to do all the little things that the traditional financial services industry is chasing after to try to claim as part of a so-called value proposition. 

But traditional financial services businesses can still thrive, for now, in a few ways, like by being hyperlocal, hyperniche, hyperpersonal, super-high touch, and ultra-exclusive. 

Let’s talk about these individually. 

Hyperlocal—By hyperlocal, I mean not just operating in your town, but within a specific neighborhood or community, where people shop and walk and eat and raise their kids together. Is your face on the neighborhood diner’s placemats? Do you know the people on your block? The people who bag groceries or punch registers at the gas station? Would they come to you for financial services?  

Hyperniche–These are tightknit groups bound by attribute or activity. So just saying that we’re going to serve “women” or large racial or ethnic segments like Hispanic peoples would not fit here, but could be part of the identification of a hyperniche. So instead of an overall demographic group, think women who ride motorcycles, tenured Black educators and writers, semi-retired men in a particular age range who follow 1960s and 1970s rock and roll bands, Italian-American small-business owners and self-employed craftspeople. These groups are people united by purpose, skill and/or identity in which trust is strong and word-of-mouth moves quickly. 

Hyperpersonal–Being on first-name basis doesn’t even begin to describe it. By hyperpersonal we mean that you’re in with the people you serve, like, really in with them. These are YOUR people, and to a greater extent than your peers in the industry, you are in their lives. You share interests and activities, you know their families and their friends—often  their extended families and friends, and chances are, you’re in with them, too. You call each other “fam” or “family” even though you’re not related. You literally watch each others’ kids and grandkids grow up, and have great relationships with them, too. 

Super High-Touch (but also Customizable)–Concierge or concierge-like services and white-glove experiences are offered that go well beyond a traditional financial services experience, the consumer/client can access services at any level in any way they wish to interact, and change their level of interaction and service without feeling like they’re moving money around and without experiencing major shifts in costs and quality of services. 

Ultra-Exclusive–Here, we’re talking about the ultra-high-net-worth, but not all of them, rather, a pool of people for whom having traditional – but exceptional – wealth and financial services offerings are not just an expectation but also a mark of identity/culture. These people don’t just want a service from their providers, they also want the experience of accessing the service in a particular way. Keep in mind that as money moves between generations, this is not likely to be a rapidly growing segment of clients. 

That was a lot. Let’s get to your headlines...

19. Saifr 

Saifr®, a leading AI technology company incubated within Fidelity Labs, today announced new AI capabilities that can help insurance companies efficiently manage compliance with advertising regulations for life insurance and annuity products. 

Saifr’s latest AI agent alerts are based on model laws developed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) and will expand to include various US state-level regulations. The AI agent alerts on potentially noncompliant or problematic content, explains the reasoning behind the alert, and generates recommendations to help mitigate the risk, all while prioritizing a human in the loop feedback process. The AI agent is designed to process the context of the full document, enabling it to intelligently surface flags and suggestions for potential concerns such as with phrasing, misrepresentations, disclosures, industry practices, and performance reporting, while the client’s human subject matter expert remains in control of model output. 

Marketing teams can use the agent to perform a first-pass review and make changes before submitting for compliance review, while compliance teams can use the agent as an extra pair of intelligent eyes to help catch low-level risks and ensure thoroughness — leading to smoother collaboration, fewer rounds of review, and reduced regulatory risk. 

20. Savvy Wealth

This latest infusion of capital brings Savvy to over $100 million in total funding. 

Having completed its Series A in August 2024, Savvy is in the top decile for speed between Series A and B funding rounds, according to industry data from Carta.
