About Hold the Pen
In financial services, whoever holds the pen owns the document. AI can draft the credit memo, the claims summary or the policy gap check. A person still holds the pen, checks it and signs.
That's the line we work to. We help FS teams get AI doing real work, with the checks built in, so the people who sign it off can.
Who we work with
Mid-sized banks, insurers, wealth managers, payments firms and lenders across the UK and EU. Mostly credit, risk, claims, KYC and operations teams, and the leaders who have to answer for them.
