Kyriba Unveils Agentic AI TAI to Transform Finance with Security, Compliance & Trust
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kyriba, a global leader in liquidity performance, today introduced its agentic AI solution, TAI – a significant advancement in the safe, compliant use of generative AI in finance operations to improve productivity and efficiency amid continued economic uncertainty.
Powered by Kyriba's embedded Large Language Model (LLM) and over 20 years of unmatched global liquidity data, TAI simplifies complex workflows, identifies risks with predictive analytics, and enhances data-driven decision-making across treasury, payments, risk management and working capital.
Poised to transform finance and treasury operations without relying on third-party LLM integrations, TAI is a key component of Kyriba's Trusted AI portfolio. This platform-wide approach prioritizes industry-leading data privacy while empowering enterprise leaders to make faster, smarter decisions with human judgement and responsibility at the center.
Kyriba's approach directly addresses the "Trust Gap" – the growing divide between the promise of AI-driven financial transformation and the fear of security and privacy risks. A new Kyriba survey* of CFOs and treasury leaders in the US, UK, France and Japan reveals that while 53% view AI as the most significant transformation to their role over the next five years, 76% are concerned that security or privacy risks could undermine their organization's financial health.
'While many are racing to churn out 'autonomous' finance solutions, we're hearing what leaders are really saying: adopting AI shouldn't mean compromising on security, control, or risk standards in finance and treasury. As companies continue to face economic volatility, TAI was designed to optimize liquidity performance with nimble, data-driven insights – plus the assurance of integrity, visibility and ownership,' said Kyriba Chair and CEO Melissa Di Donato.
TAI will be showcased at the company's annual customer conference, KyribaLive, beginning today in Orlando. Attendees will hear from Kyriba executives, industry leaders, partners and customers, including members of Kyriba's Co-Innovation Lab that piloted TAI's agentic AI capabilities such as Sodexo, Koch, Inc. and Mews.
'While leveraging AI to realize greater efficiency is top of mind, the safety and security of our data is paramount. I appreciate seeing firsthand how Kyriba puts transparency and human oversight at the forefront. As a Co-Innovation Lab member, I am optimistic about TAI's potential to enhance our treasury and payment processes, and look forward to its continued evolution,' said Yoann Kremer, Systems & Projects Manager - Enterprise Liquidity Management, Sodexo.
"Trust is phenomenally important for us at this stage as a key pivot issue for AI adoption – being able to determine if the 'right' answer is a 'true' answer. Trust is critical right now in helping to build confidence,' said Meaghan Downs, Sr. Analyst, Global Payment Solutions, Koch, Inc.
'As a scale up, we are really nimble and agile and we want to be ahead of the trend. This was a great opportunity to see how we can integrate AI into the treasury workflows by automating the repetitive tasks and focusing our time on being more productive – allowing us to focus on the decisions that we need to make to take the company forward,' said Hemant Godhwani, Head of Corporate Finance & Treasury at Mews.
Transcending traditional financial tools by addressing liquidity challenges, the Trusted AI portfolio also offers innovative solutions like Cash AI, Invoice AI and Fraud Detection AI across Kyriba's product pillars.
'We're hearing loud and clear that finance leaders are excited about the potential of automation – but remain skeptical about oversight, ethics and workforce impact. Kyriba's agentic AI addresses these concerns head on with its embedded and compliant LLM approach designed to augment – not replace – human expertise, which I expect the market will welcome wholeheartedly,' added Kevin Permenter, IDC Senior Research Director, Financial Applications.
Kyriba customers can preview TAI at Kyriba User Groups and KyribaLive Exchange (KLX) events around the world. For dates and locations, visit kyriba.com.
* Survey conducted Feb 18 - Mar 3, 2025 by CensusWide on behalf of Kyriba among 1,000 CFOs, Treasurers and senior financial decisionmakers working at companies with $100M+ in revenue across US, UK, France and Japan.

JPMorgan Banker Warns of Silicon Valley Trap for Clean Tech
(Bloomberg) -- The venture capital model honed and perfected in Silicon Valley is proving a bad fit for the clean tech industry, and investors should instead accept that they'll need to commit much bigger sums of money for longer periods of time. Where the Wild Children's Museums Are Billionaire Steve Cohen Wants NY to Expand Taxpayer-Backed Ferry The Economic Benefits of Paying Workers to Move At London's New Design Museum, Visitors Get Hands-On Access LA City Council Passes Budget That Trims Police, Fire Spending 'In traditional VC, the model is to make 100 bets, 90 of which will completely fail, and of the 10 remaining maybe a couple will have real exponential growth,' JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s Rama Variankaval said in an interview. However, 'the amount of capital you'd need to replicate that in climate is enormous, so you might need to accept a revised model where you are picking fewer, more concentrated bets.' The warning from Variankaval, whose role as global head of corporate advisory includes running JPMorgan's Center for Carbon Transition, has serious implications for the trajectory of climate change. More than $200 trillion needs to be invested in the transition to net zero over the next three decades to avoid catastrophic temperature rises, BloombergNEF estimates. Spending last year, meanwhile, was just over $2 trillion. Most of the money — both public and private — flowing into the low-carbon transition is going toward electrified transport, renewable energy and power grids, BNEF's analysis shows. Those are capital-intensive sectors that require committed capital. That's in contrast to the 'asset-light businesses' to which venture capital is best suited, Variankaval said. 'If you are investing in a software business and you put in $10 million, the need for additional capital from this company might not be high,' Variankaval said. 'But $10 million in a climate tech company doesn't get you a whole lot of runway.' Of the $270 billion of energy transition-focused private capital raised between 2017 and 2022, venture capital accounted for $120 billion, or 43%, while private equity and infrastructure-focused funds raised $100 billion, or 37%, according to a September 2023 report by S2G, a firm that focuses on venture and growth-stage businesses. Fresh examples include climate tech investment firm Energize Capital, which just raised $430 million for a new fund targeting early-stage startups working on projects like new batteries and software for the electric grid. Clean tech was particularly vulnerable to the rapid surge in interest rates that started in early 2022, with much of the capital-intensive green sector brought to its knees in the period that followed. Over the past three years, the S&P Global Clean Energy Transition Index has lost almost 40% of its value, compared with a gain of more than 40% in the S&P 500 Index. 'The problem is investors are very segmented,' Variankaval said. 'Different investor groups have different risk-reward preferences, and for the most part a lot of the transition theme falls in the gap between various pockets of capital,' in what's known as 'the missing middle.' Other banks have offered similar warnings. Barclays Plc, which has called on the UK government to address the funding challenge facing companies in low-carbon industries, said in a recent report that climate tech companies face 'a longer and riskier path to profitability' because they tend to be 'capital expenditure-intensive, with high upfront investments required in plant and equipment.' It's clear 'what success looks like,' Variankaval said. 'It's project finance, it's infrastructure. That's where we need to get to, because that's the right cost of capital for a lot of these projects and companies.' Meanwhile, the Trump administration has made a point of withdrawing support from clean energy and instead doubling down on fossil fuels. Though the approach has angered many climate investors, Variankaval suggests it has also helped clarify which technologies have the most potential. The sense now is that 'winners and losers have been more directly identified,' he said. 'It seems like nuclear and geothermal might be more in the winner camp and things like hydrogen might not be. In a way, that helps investors to say, 'Okay I feel like I can have a bit more focus and I know policy support will continue for these couple technologies'.' Demand for nuclear energy was underscored on Tuesday, with an announcement that Meta Platforms Inc. has entered a deal to buy power from Constellation Energy Corp. The agreement marks the latest example of Big Tech tapping an energy form that's available around the clock and that doesn't release greenhouse-gas emissions. There are also some green technologies 'that we can see will continue to have quite solid policy support, maybe even increased support,' Variankaval said. 'In some ways, that's helpful because you're focusing now on maybe two or three things.' The bottom line, though, is that 'climate risk is real,' Variankaval said. 'You're living with the consequences every day, and it's a problem that has negative consequences if left unaddressed. That story does not change in my mind because of either economic cycles or political cycles.' (Adds references to Meta purchase of power from Constellation, and Energize VC fund.)

Malaysian finance ministry warns against 'false' e-wallet subsidy scheme posts
"The following are the qualifying conditions for RM300 e-wallet subsidy for all groups that will be provided every month of 2025. Check now!" reads a Malay-language Facebook post on May 10. It includes a graphic with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's "Malaysia Madani" policy framework logo and text that repeats the false claim. The post includes a link to an external website masquerading as the website for Touch 'n Go, a Malaysian digital payment and e-wallet service, where users are asked to input their national identity card and phone numbers to "check eligibility" for the purported subsidy. Similar posts surfaced elsewhere on Facebook, but the Malaysian government is not disbursing aid through e-wallets in 2025. The Ministry of Finance rejected the claims in a statement on its official Facebook page on May 4, calling the posts "false" (archived link). "If you're not sure, don't click and avoid being a victim of fraud!" it said. Malaysia announced it would allocate 13 billion ringgit in its 2025 budget as cash aid to lower-income groups (archived link). It is split into two categories -- one for groceries that is credited directly to a recipient's identity cards and another cash aid scheme disbursed in four phases to the recipient's bank account (archived link). The finance ministry also urged the public to go through the official channel -- Inland Revenue Board -- to check their eligibility for the cash aid (archived link).
