Finda, Upstage team up to build finance-focused agentic AI platform

Fintech platform Finda has signed a memorandum of understanding with artificial intelligence (AI) startup Upstage to jointly develop an agentic AI platform tailored to financial services, the company said Wednesday.

The partnership will combine Finda's financial expertise and proprietary data with Upstage's large language model (LLM) technology to develop AI agents designed for use across financial institutions.
