PRESS RELEASE: KYND named among world’s most innovative AIFinTech companies by FinTech Global

KYND, the cyber risk intelligence company trusted by insurers and financial institutions globally, has been named as one of the Top 100 global AI FinTech companies in the prestigious AIFinTech100 2025 list, published by FinTech Global.

The AIFinTech100 recognises the world’s most innovative solution providers harnessing artificial intelligence to drive transformation in financial services. Selected by a panel of industry experts and analysts, this year’s list identifies the companies every financial institution needs to know about as they develop next-generation strategies for resilience, digital transformation, and client engagement.

“AI is only as powerful as the intelligence it delivers – and in financial services, clarity on cyber risk has never been more critical,” said Melanie Hayes, Co-founder and COO of KYND. At KYND, we’re focused on cutting through the cyber noise, enabling financial institutions to proactively manage cyber risk, protect their portfolios, and make faster, smarter decisions in today’s high-stakes threat landscape. Being recognised in the AIFinTech100 reinforces the vital role cyber risk intelligence plays in building smarter, more resilient financial institutions.”

Richard Sachar, Director of Fintech Global, commented: “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. The AIFinTech100 2025 recognises the firms setting new standards for how AI can be applied in financial services. From intelligent automation and fraud detection to hyper-personalised banking experiences, these trailblazers are leading the next wave of FinTech innovation.”

With the financial sector under mounting pressure from evolving cyber threats and increasing regulatory scrutiny, KYND’s unmatched cyber risk intelligence empowers financial institutions to gain immediate clarity on cyber exposure – across their own operations, investments, and third-party ecosystem. From delivering instant, actionable insights and advanced threat scanning to identifying and continuously monitoring third-party cyber exposure to support compliance with frameworks like DORA and NIS2, KYND is enabling the financial industry to shift from reactive to truly preventative cyber risk management.

The AIFinTech100 recognition follows a wave of momentum for KYND, including strategic partnerships with global players and industry award wins such as InsurTech Innovation of the Year.
