The financial crime prevention sector is undergoing a rapid transformation, challenged by the dual forces of AI-powered fraud and the limitations of new agentic AI solutions. In this critical landscape, Resistant AI, a leader in native AI models for financial crime, has announced a $25 million Series B funding round. Led by DTCP with participation from existing investors, this investment will fuel the company's expansion and product development as it capitalizes on its position as a profitable, EU-based AI champion dedicated to protecting the global financial system.

Resistant AI raised a $25 million Series B funding round led by DTCP.
The company is profitable and will use the capital for global expansion and product development.
Its native AI models detect document fraud and monitor transactions with high precision.
The solution addresses the rise of AI-powered fraud and the shortcomings of LLM-based agents.
Annual Recurring Revenue has grown 10x since its Series A, with a 4x increase in customers.
The platform has verified over 150 million documents and grown transaction analysis 100x.
Addressing a Critical Market Shift
The new funding arrives as fraudsters increasingly weaponize generative AI, with 35% of businesses reporting GenAI-related fraud. Concurrently, many new regtech solutions using large language models suffer from high hallucination rates and an inability to perform quantitative risk analysis. Resistant AI's machine learning models are designed to fill this gap, detecting sophisticated crimes like real-time payment fraud, synthetic identities, and money laundering by analyzing documents, transactions, and behaviors. This approach aims to empower both human analysts and AI agents with superior detection capabilities.
"The financial crime landscape has fundamentally changed with the deployment of LLMs and AI agents in risk prevention settings, and the weaponization of generative AI by fraudsters," said Martin Rehak, CEO and Founder of Resistant AI. "Our fraud and fincrime models offer any institution the tools to empower both their human and agentic co-pilots to combat these AI-powered threats at scale. This funding, combined with our near-term path to profitability, allows us to accelerate our mission of protecting the global financial system from increasingly sophisticated criminal networks."
Proven Growth and Industry Validation
Resistant AI's market position is strengthened by significant traction. Since its Series A, the company's Annual Recurring Revenue has increased tenfold, and its customer base has grown fourfold. Its services have become a leader in AI-driven document fraud detection, having verified over 150 million documents. The volume of transactions analyzed for fraud and anti-money laundering has also increased by 100 times. This growth underscores the soaring demand for advanced, reliable detection capabilities as global regulators, following the UK's lead, mandate stricter fraud reimbursement rules.
Michael Rager, Partner at DTCP Growth, comments: "Resistant AI represents the future of financial crime prevention, with their in-house built multi-model approach to fraud detection marking a paradigm shift in how financial institutions can protect themselves and their customers. We look forward to partnering with Martin and the Resistant AI team to support the business in its next stage of growth."
By providing a robust, native AI defense against evolving threats, Resistant AI is establishing itself as a critical line of defense for financial institutions worldwide. Its focus on enhancing precision, recall, and contextual decision-making directly addresses the urgent need for systems that can keep pace with the sophistication of modern financial crime.
Resistant AI produces document fraud detection and transaction monitoring models that make fintech AI and automation systems resilient to manipulation and attack — without replacing their existing tech stack.
