Umony, the AI-powered financial services communications compliance platform, has raised £11m in a Series A round led by Notion Capital, with participation from SeedCamp, Crane Venture Partners and angel investors including Dr. Thomas Wolf.

Founded in 2017, Umony helps financial institutions detect risk and meet regulatory demands with AI-driven surveillance across mobile, chat, email, voice and video. Its platform captures, archives and analyses communications to detect potential misconduct and meet record-keeping requirements. Trusted by over 100 international banks and many of the world’s largest mobile carriers, Umony is positioned to scale globally as regulators increase scrutiny, with more than $2bn in fines issued over the past two years for communications failures.

The company has also formed an advisory board of leading figures in regulation, artificial intelligence and enterprise technology, including Tracey McDermott, Dr. Thomas Wolf, Sally Dewar, Dr. Hemma Lomax, Stephen Sanders and Paul Ford. They will guide strategy across regulatory insight, AI innovation and enterprise scaling.

The new funding will be used to expand Umony’s engineering and AI research teams, deepen regulatory product features and accelerate customer acquisition across major financial hubs.

Detecting and deterring market abuse or other conduct failures has never been more critical. But the ever increasing volume and complexity of communications continues to highlight the limitations of traditional surveillance. Umony’s AI-first approach helps firms detect risk in real time - not after the fact. I’m thrilled to support their efforts to bring clarity, control and integrity to financial communications.
Tracey McDermott, former CEO at FCA & CCO at Standard Chartered Bank
From the start, our mission has been simple: make compliance smarter, faster and future-proof. With this exceptional advisory board and backing from top-tier investors, we’re ready to bring AI-powered compliance to every corner of the financial world.
