WorkFusion Rolls Out Trial-Sized AI Digital Worker to Ease Adverse Media Monitoring Workload

Published

on

Know Your Customer just got easier with chat-based, anytime access of company’s award-winning AI agent, Evelyn

NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — WorkFusion, a regtech company specializing in AI agents that fight financial crime, today announced that it has released Evelyn “LT,” a trial-sized version of its award-winning AI Digital Worker designed to automate the time-consuming tasks of adverse media monitoring. Evelyn LT is a pre-built, GenAI-powered solution that automates the tedious and error-prone tasks related to adverse media monitoring, a critical anti-money laundering (AML) due diligence process required for Know Your Customer (KYC).

Evelyn LT automatically reviews and dispositions customer screening alerts for adverse media, reducing an organization’s chances of doing business with risky clients. Any organization, no matter the size, with adverse media/KYC needs can now easily and inexpensively access Evelyn’s capabilities to run negative news search data live via Large Action Models (LAMs) and answer questions via a chat-style interface powered by large language models (LLMs). Evelyn LT is available anytime and can be accessed via PC or mobile device.

“Historically, adverse media screening tools deliver so many alerts that compliance teams are routinely overwhelmed and lack the resources to adequately evaluate and adjudicate each alert. What’s more, the vast majority of those alerts are false positives,” said Adam Famularo, CEO of WorkFusion. “While our traditional AI Digital Worker Evelyn is fantastic for organizations that need a long-term, enterprise-scale adverse media monitoring automation solution, Evelyn LT delivers quick and immediate results on a monthly or try before you buy basis. For organizations with lower volumes or those hesitant to commit to an enterprise agreement, Evelyn LT can be used to augment L1 staff, as needed. If Evelyn is akin to hiring full-time analysts, Evelyn LT is like hiring a temporary or part-time worker.”

While a human analyst might need about 10-20 minutes to review an adverse media alert manually, with the assistance of Evelyn LT, this time can be reduced to about two minutes. The full version of Evelyn consults third-party sources such as online news sources, commercial databases and research organizations to support her decisions, with the LT version focused on Google as the news provider. She then highlights high-risk articles for analyst review and provides detailed justification for false positives. This results in an 80%+ reduction in the time needed to manually review these news sources, leading to substantial time savings.

Pricing for Evelyn LT is available in three tiers:

Starter: $150/month for up to 100 transactions (add’l transactions $1.50 each)Standard: $675/month for up to 500 transactions (add’l transactions $1.35 each)Standard +: $1250/month for up to 1000 transactions (add’l transactions $1.25 each)

Chelsea FC name fast-growing fintech platform as Principal Partner

LONDON, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chelsea Football Club has today announced a multi-year partnership with Sokin, the embedded finance and payments company used by businesses worldwide. Sokin will be named a Principal Partner and Official Business Payments and FX Partner of Chelsea FC and Chelsea FC Women.

As a Principal Partner, Sokin will be represented on the sleeves of the Chelsea FC men’s, women’s and academy home, away, and third kits from the 2026/27 season.

The partnership brings together two ambitious London-headquartered organisations with worldwide reach – a club with millions of fans across the world and a fintech platform through which businesses move more than $11 billion a year. A club of Chelsea’s scale works in many currencies every day, with partners, competitions and supporters around the world, and needs a financial partner built to handle that.

Sokin gives finance teams business payments, multi-currency accounts, foreign exchange, checkout and treasury in one place, so they spend less time juggling banks and providers and keep more of what they move.

As Official Business Payments and FX Partner, Sokin will simplify how Chelsea FC sends, receives and manages money in the currencies the club operates in.

The Sokin logo will feature on the sleeve of the Chelsea shirt for the first time [when the men’s team host Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 24th October.]

Jason Gannon, President at Chelsea FC said:

“At Chelsea, we seek to partner with organisations that share our ambition and innovative mindset. Sokin’s expertise in business payments, and their focus on making both simpler for the businesses they serve, makes them a natural fit for the Club. We are pleased to welcome Sokin to the Chelsea family and look forward to working together in the years ahead.”

Vroon Modgill, CEO and founder at Sokin said:

“Chelsea plays on the biggest stage in world football, and its business runs in dozens of currencies. Sokin was built for that with regulated, multi-currency payments and foreign exchange for organisations that operate internationally. We’re proud to be the platform behind the business payments and FX of one of the most iconic teams in football. Sokin’s platform serves businesses in more than 170 countries. We’re thrilled to be partners for the season ahead. An organisation as sophisticated as Chelsea doesn’t leave its finances to chance.”

Some businesses use Sokin to manage global finance in-house. Others build it into their products to power financial experiences for their customers.
