Bretton
AI-native, agentic operations that replace outsourced back-office compliance work for banks and fintechs
By Bretton (formerly Greenlite) · 4.3/5 Value-Position score (estimate)
Positioning guardrails
Best for
- Regulated banks, fintechs, payments and brokerage platforms with high volumes of AML alerts, sanctions and payment screening, KYC/KYB and enhanced due diligence cases
- Financial-crime and compliance leaders who need explained, audit-ready decisions rather than raw AI output
- Institutions replacing offshore BPO or outsourced review teams with AI-run back-office operations
- Operations leaders who want pre-built skill templates and a no-code Agent Builder over their own data and policies
Ideal size: 50–1,000+ employees people · Regulated institution with a standing financial-crime or KYC program
Not for
- Companies outside financial services with no AML, sanctions or KYC obligations
- Teams wanting a self-serve, unmanaged point tool with published per-seat pricing
- Buyers who must keep every review in-house and will not use a vendor-run managed service
- Very small businesses without an existing compliance program or case-management process

Bottom line
Bretton (formerly Greenlite) sells an agentic AI platform plus managed services that run financial-crime back-office work for banks, fintechs and payments firms: AML alert triage, transaction monitoring, sanctions and payment screening, KYC/KYB and enhanced due diligence.

Customers report 70–87% cuts in review time and tens of thousands of hours saved.
Frequently asked questions
What back-office work does Bretton replace?
Bretton targets financial-crime and compliance operations: AML alert handling, transaction monitoring, sanctions and payment screening, KYC/KYB onboarding, enhanced and periodic due diligence, and customer reviews. Its agents are layered over your own data, policies and core systems, and the vendor's managed service uses forward deployed engineers and subject-matter experts to build, tune and run the program alongside your team.
Is Bretton's output defensible to regulators?
Bretton markets a Trust Infrastructure: every decision is logged with reasoning, evidence and model version, production traces become evaluation sets, and quality control uses agent-as-a-judge review. Agent runs and Workbench investigations carry audit logs, investigations export to sourced PDFs, and the vendor publishes SOC 2 Type II, zero-data retention and independent model validation. Reviewers can rerun individual case stages while preserving history.
How quickly can we get value from Bretton?
Pre-built skill templates deploy in minutes and the vendor claims day-one savings with its analysts and forward deployed engineers. Expect template-based workflows live within days to a few weeks, and a tuned, integrated program in roughly one to two months, since agents are configured around your data, policies and case-management setup.
What does Bretton cost?
Bretton publishes no pricing on its site; contracts are enterprise and quote-based, so buyers should expect a scoped proposal reflecting case volumes, workflows and the level of managed service. There is no published per-seat price or implementation fee, and the AI-native Managed Service is a separate engagement from the platform.
Do we have to rip out our existing compliance stack?
No. Bretton positions itself as layered over the systems you already run, ingests alerts in bulk, and works with existing payment-screening systems. Named integrations include Databricks Delta Share for warehouse data and Unit 21 for transaction monitoring, and agent results can be returned in structured formats for downstream systems.
Who already runs Bretton?
Banks, fintechs and payment platforms including Mercury, Gusto, Upgrade, Ramp, Betterment, Coastal Community Bank, Grasshopper Bank and First Internet Bank, plus Kraken's parent Payward. Vendor case studies cite an 87% cut in compliance review time, 52,000 hours saved at Payward, and a brokerage onboarding new traders in under five minutes for 10,000 customers a month.
