The funding round was led by CommerzVentures and DN Capital, with continued support from seed investors such as VI Partners and Pictet Group.
Pictet Group managing partner Sven Holstenson said: “Their innovative approach positions them as market leader, and we look forward to continuing to be part of their journey.”
Unique’s platform, which facilitates advanced data security and regulatory compliance, allows financial institutions to deploy agentic AI either through pre-configured use cases or customised agents.
The company’s AI solutions are designed to enhance back and middle-office operations by integrating seamlessly with existing systems, thereby improving data processing and request handling efficiency.
Its technology is already in use by various financial firms managing over $2.3tn in assets, including Pictet Group, UBP, LGT Private Banking, and SIX.
Unique CEO Manuel Grenacher said: “This funding will significantly boost our global expansion efforts and enhance our ability to deploy agentic solutions for our clients.
“As a vertical AI leader and a category owner, we are dedicated to advancing the financial services industry, and with the strong backing from our investors, we aim to drive the next wave of innovation.”
In an executive team expansion, Unique has appointed Dana Ritter as chief product officer, starting in April 2025.
Ritter, a former Group Product Manager at Google DeepMind, led the Gemini project on Android and served as Head of Gemini Growth and Retention.
Ritter also played a key role in launching Google’s Duplex on the Web in 2019.
