Appian recognised for AI innovation on 2025 AIFinTech100 list
Appian has been named to the 2025 AIFinTech100 list by FinTech Global, recognising the company for its use of artificial intelligence in the transformation of financial services.
The annual AIFinTech100 list identifies one hundred companies worldwide that are applying AI to modernise and enhance banking, insurance and compliance processes.
This year's list was compiled from over 2,000 candidates and selected by a panel of analysts and financial sector professionals.
The AIFinTech100 initiative is managed by FinTech Global, a research platform specialising in the financial technology sector. Richard Sachar, Director at FinTech Global, stated, "AI is fundamentally reshaping the financial services landscape. The companies featured on this year's AIFinTech100 list are at the forefront of that transformation, developing solutions that enhance operational efficiency, strengthen compliance, improve customer engagement, and drive innovation across the board."
Appian's selection highlights its strategy of integrating AI across financial workflows, enabling banks and other financial institutions to embed AI-driven decision-making throughout their operations.
The company's technology is used in processes including risk management, operational efficiency improvements and customer service.
According to Appian, its approach ensures that AI is embedded directly into orchestrated workflows, with a focus on responsible deployment, transparency, adherence to regulatory requirements, and the ability to measure the results for the business. This method is intended to help customers balance automation and human oversight while maintaining robust governance.
John Trapani, Industry Leader, Financial Services at Appian, stated, "Many financial institutions are experimenting with AI, but true value comes from strategic implementation. Our customers are using Appian to bring AI into onboarding, loan processing, KYC, and more—automating routine work while keeping people in control. By embedding AI in orchestrated workflows, we give it purpose, governance, and impact. That's why process-driven AI delivers lasting value across the financial enterprise."
Appian has reported that its technology is currently being used by several major financial organisations, including State Street Global Advisors, NatWest, and S&P Global.
These companies employ the platform to support compliance functions, enhance customer experiences, and improve operational agility across their businesses.
The firm says its secure platform and AI capabilities help financial institutions accelerate innovation, adapt to changing requirements, and manage risk in a regulated environment. Appian's platform is positioned as a tool for institutions seeking to modernise and scale operations while maintaining confidence in their compliance and governance standards.
Appian provides software technology across a range of industries, with a focus on helping organisations automate and optimise their internal processes.
The company's offerings are designed to support the financial sector in managing costs, improving customer experiences, and achieving strategic business outcomes through the effective use of AI and workflow technologies.
