AI-Powered Search for Banking, Insurance & Asset Management

The Financial Data Problem: You Have Everything Except Answers
U.S. banks alone store an estimated 1 exabyte of data — yet financial analysts still spend hours finding, reconciling, and cleaning it before they can act on it. Sinequa’s AI-powered search and GenAI assistants give financial institutions a single intelligent interface across all of that data, turning it from an operational burden into a competitive advantage.
One Platform Across Financial Services
- Retail Banking Advisors instantly access a customer’s complete financial picture — accounts, contracts, transaction history — without switching systems. Customers get the same unified view in self-service.
- Insurance Teams share information across agencies and brokers to assess risk faster, accelerate claims processing, and reduce manual reconciliation across underwriting systems.
- Investment Management Portfolio managers and analysts search across internal research, market data, CRM records, and regulatory filings from a single interface — no manual aggregation required.
- Fraud & Financial Crime Dynamic relationship mapping connects individuals, accounts, transactions, and communications across all data sources simultaneously — surfacing fraud patterns and money laundering networks that siloed analytics miss.
- Compliance — MiFID II, KYC, AML Compliance teams access all relevant documentation, transaction histories, and regulatory guidance in one place — reducing audit preparation time and accelerating responses to regulatory inquiries.

DownloadDeployed Across the World’s Largest Financial Institutions
Sinequa is trusted by some of the world’s largest and most complex financial organizations — including Crédit Agricole, Société Générale, Groupama, DZ Bank, and Mercer. These institutions operate across retail banking, investment management, insurance, and asset management, with user bases ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of employees accessing Sinequa daily.
Crédit Agricole’s deployment illustrates the scale of impact: over 60,000 internal users now access a complete 360° customer view — accounts, share portfolio, and insurance contracts — from a single interface. The projected year-two ROI from time savings alone exceeded $12.1 million. In investment management, a leading asset manager built a $4.6M operational efficiency business case around Sinequa to resolve customer service gaps that had created C-suite reputational risk.
These are not pilot deployments. Sinequa routinely indexes hundreds of millions of documents for hundreds of thousands of users in complex, multi-system financial environments.
From AI-Powered Search to Agentic AI in Financial Services
The AI-powered search foundation Sinequa delivers to financial institutions today is the infrastructure that makes the next generation of agentic financial AI trustworthy: AI agents that autonomously monitor transaction streams and flag suspicious activity before it escalates to a compliance incident; GenAI assistants that synthesize client portfolio data, market research, and regulatory guidance into advisor-ready briefings in seconds; and compliance agents that continuously monitor regulatory updates and map new requirements to existing documentation gaps — alerting compliance teams before an audit exposes the issue.
These agentic capabilities are only reliable when the underlying knowledge retrieval layer is accurate, complete, and security-aware. Sinequa applies role-based and content-based access control throughout the entire platform, ensuring that every AI-generated answer is grounded in data the requesting user is authorized to see.
For financial institutions building their next-generation AI strategy, Sinequa provides the secure, trusted data foundation that makes AI in financial services accurate, compliant, and safe to deploy at enterprise scale.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Sinequa connects to all relevant customer data systems — core banking platforms, CRM systems, insurance policy databases, transaction histories, email archives, call center records, and online interaction logs — and indexes them into a unified, searchable layer. When an employee queries a customer, Sinequa surfaces all relevant information from all connected systems simultaneously, presenting it in a role-appropriate view tailored to whether the user is a branch advisor, portfolio manager, compliance officer, or executive. Crédit Agricole implemented this approach across 60,000 internal users, with a projected year-two ROI exceeding $12.1 million from time savings alone.
Sinequa supports financial institutions navigating MiFID II, Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML), GDPR, and Dodd-Frank compliance requirements. The platform connects compliance teams to all relevant documentation, customer records, transaction histories, and regulatory guidance from a single interface — reducing the manual effort of audit preparation and accelerating responses to regulatory inquiries. For MiFID II specifically, Sinequa enables rapid retrieval of investment advice documentation and trade execution records required for regulatory review.
Standard generative AI tools produce answers based on training data that may be outdated, generic, and entirely disconnected from your institution’s proprietary data. Sinequa’s GenAI assistants are grounded in your enterprise data: they retrieve relevant, current information from your connected systems before generating a response, ensuring that answers are accurate, specific to your organization, and based only on data the requesting user is authorized to see. In a regulated environment where incorrect or inappropriately disclosed information carries compliance and legal risk, this distinction is foundational.
Sinequa’s dynamic relationship mapping connects entities — individuals, bank accounts, credit card numbers, financial transactions, addresses, and communications — across all indexed data sources simultaneously. Machine learning algorithms identify anomalous patterns: unusual transaction networks, connections between accounts that should not be related, and behavioral patterns inconsistent with a customer’s established financial profile. Analysts explore these patterns through interactive charts, timeline analyses, tables, and relationship maps. Because Sinequa searches across all data sources simultaneously rather than analyzing each in isolation, it surfaces money laundering and fraud patterns that siloed analytics would never detect.
Sinequa is deployed across retail banks, investment banks, insurance companies, asset managers, and leasing and property management organizations. Named customers include Crédit Agricole, Société Générale, Groupama, DZ Bank, and Mercer. The platform serves compliance teams for regulatory documentation management, client-facing teams for 360° customer views, investment research teams for cross-source data analysis, and fraud investigation teams for entity relationship mapping across financial transaction data.
Sinequa inherits access controls directly from source systems — ensuring that each user sees only the data they are authorized to access, across all connected platforms simultaneously. Role-based and content-based access control is applied throughout the entire platform. In a regulated financial environment where data access governance is subject to audit, Sinequa’s security architecture means compliance is built into the search layer rather than bolted on after the fact.
