Two UK-based leaders in this innovative space, DealFlowAgent and FundingAgent, have now joined forces in a strategic partnership, leveraging natural synergies between raising capital and facilitating mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

AI Agents: The New Frontier in Finance

AI agents represent the next significant advancement in the financial services industry. Unlike traditional software, these intelligent assistants proactively manage tasks, anticipate user needs, and automate complex workflows. According to The Fintech Times, AI agents are rapidly reshaping banking and finance by making historically slow and tedious processes quicker, more accurate, and increasingly personalised.

In the realm of M&A, AI agents can significantly streamline due diligence, buyer sourcing, and deal management. As highlighted by Oaklins, agentic AI solutions are not only speeding up transaction times but also enabling deeper strategic insights and greater deal transparency.

Similarly, PwC’s latest insights underline that finance-focused AI agents enhance decision-making by automating data-intensive reporting and financial analysis (PwC).
