AutoRek, an enterprise in financial controls and reconciliation automation, has announced the acquisition of Grath, an innovative fintech recognised for its AI-driven approach to reconciliation and compliance challenges in financial services.
According to the firm, the acquisition gives customers new AI-enabled capabilities for automated reconciliation, providing firms of every size a governed, audit?ready route to automated reconciliation, and AI-enabled operations.
Grath is a London-based reconciliation and regulatory compliance technology company, founded in 2019, serving banks, payment providers, brokers, and fintechs from offices in the UK, UAE, and Australia.
Together, AutoRek and Grath give customers a single partner able to meet a broader range of needs across the full reconciliation lifecycle, from data ingestion and matching through controls, risk, and compliance management.
Additionally, the firm says the combined product portfolio gives financial services customers greater flexibility to choose the operating model that best fits their regulatory requirements, technology strategy, and deployment preferences, all within a single, governed control framework.
Chris Livesey, CEO of AutoRek, says: “Customers want the benefits of AI delivered through governance, auditability, and human oversight. By bringing together AutoRek’s enterprise control capabilities with Grath’s AI innovation, customers gain more choice in how they deploy and more confidence in the controls that underpin it.”
Matt Povey, CEO of Grath, adds: “Financial services is at an inflection point. Institutions no longer want to choose between robust enterprise controls and the speed of AI-led innovation, and now they do not have to. Whether customers want a dedicated deployment, a SaaS solution live in hours, or embedded agentic infrastructure, they can now adopt any model within a single governed framework.”
