# Breaking News: Saris Secures $28.8 Million for Banking Workflow Platform
Saris, a fintech firm specializing in agentic workflow automation for banks and credit unions, has closed a $28.8 million Series A funding round. The capital injection comes as financial institutions accelerate digital transformation initiatives amid growing pressure to reduce operational costs and improve efficiency.
The platform targets traditional banking infrastructure, offering automation solutions specifically designed for workflow optimization across lending institutions. This funding signals continued investor confidence in enterprise fintech solutions that address legacy system challenges facing regional banks and credit unions.
The timing is notable as smaller financial institutions face mounting competitive pressure from larger digital-first banks and mounting regulatory compliance costs.
