Anthropic and FIS announced partnership to develop AI agents using Claude for bank fraud detection and financial crime investigations.
FIS shares jumped 6.6% in after‑hours trading, while CEO Stephanie Ferris highlighted autonomous evidence‑gathering with human final decision‑making.
Bank of Montreal and Amalgamated Bank will be first users, with broader rollout slated for the second half of 2026.
The collaboration targets billions spent annually on AML compliance and may boost FIS’s valuation after a 25% stock decline this year.
