Smartfin leads Marble’s €6.5m Series A

Marble press release below:

Compliance was never meant to slow the business down.

Yet, for most banks and fintechs, FRAML and compliance work has quietly become a tax on growth. It swallows headcount, budget, and hours that should be fueling the business.

We built Marble to give that margin back.

Today, we are announcing our €6.5M Series A to do it at scale: to make compliance automation the standard, not the exception.

You cannot out-hire the problem

Here’s the truth the industry has been slow to say out loud: the regulatory bar keeps rising, financial crime keeps accelerating, and headcount is under pressure.

You cannot hire your way out of this. Manual review was already losing.

So automation is not a nice-to-have. It’s the only math that works. It will make a world of difference for those who embrace it: better results, better margins, better compliance.

Our goal is to make it the default way banks and fintechs fight fraud and financial crime.

Automation that arms the expert

Compliance teams shouldn’t be reviewing endless backlogs of alerts. They should be focusing on true risks.

Marble builds AI directly into the compliance workflow, from generating detection rules to alert triage, case investigation, and reporting. FRAML and compliance teams can then focus on the real risks and on the analysis that matters.

It runs on the institution’s terms, calibrated to its true risks. Marble deploys fully on-premise, with your data in your environment. Your structure, your organization: full sovereignty.

It is the only open-source financial compliance platform, and the only FRAML software that lets you see exactly how every decision is made.

More than 100 banks and fintechs across 25+ countries already run Marble in production. It works. At scale. Today.

The deeper reason

Why are we building Marble right now?

It’s day one for compliance, all over again. For the first time, more rules and more regulation no longer need to translate into more workforce.

Financial institutions spend between 5 and 15% of their total revenues on compliance, while AI is arming criminals with the ability to mass-market their scams.

The gap between financial institutions that automate their compliance and fraud management and those that keep handling it the old way will be brutal. The former will gain resilience, adapt faster, and free up far more cash flow to acquire customers and develop products.

We’re entering the third age of compliance. After the great nothing, then the post-2010 inflation, 2026 opens a new era where the boundaries between human and machine are blurring, deeply changing the way financial institutions work.

Why are we raising?

We’re welcoming SmartFin Capital and ADNEXUS to this round, along with increased support from our existing backers Passion Capital and 42CAP, and continued support from Hexa. This brings our total raised to €9M.

We’re proud to partner with investors who share our vision of automated compliance, as we build the infrastructure to get there.

Every cent goes into making Marble do more of the heavy lifting for the teams who use it every day.

This round is for the teams already in production, and the future ones

To every institution already trusting Marble in production: this round is for you. You bet on us before it was obvious, and everything this money builds is built for you first.

And to the partners joining us now: let’s build the compliance infrastructure the financial system actually needs. Automation solid enough that defenders stop playing catch-up and start setting the pace.

We’re building the automation that lets banks and financial institutions reclaim their agility.

Onward.
