Synapse Analytics has raised $13 million in Series A funding to expand its agentic AI decisioning infrastructure for banks and other regulated financial institutions. Partech led the round, with additional participation from Algebra Ventures and Silicon Badia. The financing brings Synapse Analytics’ total capital raised since inception to $17 million.
The company plans to use the funding to expand its team, accelerate product development and grow internationally.
Synapse builds infrastructure that allows credit and risk teams to create, simulate, version and deploy risk policies while maintaining control over sensitive institutional data.
Its platform is designed to automate decisions across onboarding, credit, fraud and anti-money laundering while running inside the customer’s own technology perimeter.
Deployment options include on-premises infrastructure, private, public or sovereign clouds and fully air-gapped environments.
Synapse’s proprietary models can therefore operate without requiring regulated institutions to transfer sensitive data into external AI infrastructure.
Risk and credit teams can modify policies directly and test changes against historical information before putting them into production, providing a way to introduce AI while maintaining governance and control.
Headquartered in Abu Dhabi, Synapse works with banks, non-bank financial institutions, fintech companies and telecommunications businesses across the Middle East, Africa and Latin America.
The company’s longer-term vision is to move from individual AI decision tools toward an agentic operating layer capable of helping financial institutions continuously refine underwriting, risk and customer-management decisions.
