DataVisor has introduced Vera, a new suite of conversational AI agents designed to transform how financial institutions combat fraud and anti-money laundering (AML) threats. With this launch, the company is redefining risk management by enabling teams to give instructions in plain language while AI agents execute them across the entire fraud and AML lifecycle. As a result, organizations can replace time-consuming manual workflows with a faster, more intelligent, and adaptive operating model.
As financial crime continues to evolve, fraudsters are increasingly leveraging AI to scale attacks and exploit vulnerabilities at unprecedented speed. Consequently, many institutions are struggling to keep up. According to DataVisor’s 2026 Fraud & AML Executive Report, only 23% of organizations currently have the necessary infrastructure to address these challenges, while 74% of leaders recognize AI-driven fraud as a top threat. Therefore, Vera aims to bridge this “AI readiness gap” by introducing enhanced agility and intelligence into fraud prevention strategies.
“With Vera, for the first time financial institutions can outpace AI-driven attackers,” said Yinglian Xie, CEO and Co-Founder of DataVisor. “By unlocking unparalleled speed and intelligence, we are redefining the playing field and enabling a more proactive defense against AI-driven fraud.”
At its core, Vera introduces a new operating model that allows institutions to seamlessly translate intent into action. Through a conversational interface, fraud and compliance teams can direct AI agents to perform tasks across detection, investigation, and reporting. This approach not only accelerates workflows but also embeds governance and control within every action.
Industry experts have highlighted the significance of this innovation. “DataVisor’s conversational AI agents show how true agentic technology can accelerate fraud prevention without sacrificing control. Initiated through a chat, conversational AI agents turn analyst intent into production-ready controls with governance automatically embedded,” said Ian Watson, Head of Risk Research at Celent.
Moreover, Vera delivers several advanced capabilities that enhance fraud and AML operations. First, it enables unmatched speed by allowing teams to detect threats and deploy countermeasures instantly, without the delays of traditional workflows. In addition, it provides deeper intelligence by surfacing insights from behavioral and transactional data, improving decision-making accuracy.
Equally important, the platform introduces next-generation adaptability. By combining conversational AI with unsupervised machine learning, Vera can identify emerging fraud patterns early and help organizations adjust their strategies proactively. At the same time, it ensures enterprise-grade governance through features such as logged interactions, human approval mechanisms, and full auditability.
“Bringing conversational AI together with embedded execution agents puts more control directly in the hands of financial crime leaders. DataVisor’s approach reflects the kind of practical innovation the industry demands to keep pace with increasingly sophisticated threats,” said Chuck Subrt, Fraud & AML Practice Director at Datos Insights.
Furthermore, early results from organizations using Vera demonstrate significant improvements across key areas. For example, detection strategies can now be created more efficiently, increasing coverage by two to three times. Similarly, optimization processes reduce false positives by over 40%, while investigation times drop by up to 30 times. In addition, automated regulatory reporting reduces preparation time by more than 90%, all while maintaining transparency and human oversight.
“Vera represents a new era in financial crime defense. The ability to proactively adapt through AI agents strengthens our readiness and accelerates our response to emerging threats,” said Doug Nahas, COO of NASA Federal Credit Union. “With a strong roadmap and thoughtful deployment, DataVisor is translating AI innovation into real, measurable value.”
Overall, with the launch of Vera, DataVisor is reinforcing its position as a leader in AI-driven fraud prevention. By integrating conversational AI with end-to-end execution capabilities, the company is enabling financial institutions to stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated threats while improving efficiency, accuracy, and scalability across operations.
