US-based Kasisto, the creator of finance industry-focused conversational AI platform KAI, has raised $15.5m in its extended Series C funding round.
The round was led by Fidelity Information Services (FIS) in the US and by Westpac internationally. It was also joined by Georgia-based community lender BankSouth.
The extended funding round takes the total funds raised by the company in Series C round to $31m.
Kasisto plans to use the proceeds for investment in product development, go-to-market activities and building partnerships with leading financial services providers.
Kasisto co-founder and CEO Zor Gorelov said: “The funding will allow us to continue to lead and innovate in the conversational AI space. This year, we have seen our strongest growth to date and expansion in our global and US community banking businesses.”
Kasisto counts top-tier financial institutions such as JP Morgan, Westpac, Standard Chartered, TD, and Manulife Bank as its customers who use its digital experience platform.
