What is Bretton AI?
Founded in 2023 and headquartered in San Francisco, Greenlite rebranded to Bretton AI in February 2026. Its AI agents handle AML, KYC and financial-crime operations for regulated financial institutions.
Bretton AI overlays existing financial back-office systems, data and policies with AI agents for financial-crime operations. Pre-built templates support regulated workflows, while Builder creates custom agents in natural language. Workbench gives analysts a shared environment to review and act on cases alongside agents. Its Trust Infrastructure records reasoning, evidence and model versions, creating an auditable record of agent activity and human review.
The platform covers enhanced due diligence, KYB, KYC, sanctions and PEP screening, adverse media, transaction-monitoring alerts, document review, SAR drafting, periodic reviews and broader investigations. It supports L1 and L2 workflows, but it is an enterprise overlay and managed-services product rather than a self-serve GRC suite. Public materials do not show package pricing or a free trial. Analysts remain involved in reviewing and escalating cases.
Bretton targets regulated banks, fintechs, payments companies, exchanges and other financial institutions that need additional investigation capacity. It sells through enterprise contracts and also offers consumption-priced managed services. The company says a first workflow can go live in 60 days, while a Payward implementation used a two-to-three-week validation period before full integration. Buyers need to scope their workflows, existing systems and review requirements with the vendor.
