## About this market
The financial-services work documented on this page was mostly built under a regulator's eye, and the handover shows it. Datatonic's Alpian engagement is a customer-facing banking agent under FINMA supervision, built on Google's Agent Development Kit. Zühlke's VP Bank recommender pairs the model with a compliance engine that filters clients automatically and attaches reasoning to each recommendation, though the case describes an MVP. Babel's clearest delivery is the generative-AI quality-monitoring platform WiZink runs in Spain and Portugal to review every customer interaction, cutting a campaign review from several days to hours. b.telligent's CSS Insurance classifier sorts around 60,000 customer feedbacks a year in four languages. The sharpest number sits outside banking: Kortical's Deloitte tax automation went from five hours to six minutes at above 90% accuracy.

For a bank or insurer buying a fixed-scope project, the sorting question is whether the controls are part of the deliverable. Alpian shipped with supervision built in, VP Bank's recommender came with its compliance engine, and WiZink reviews 100% of interactions, so ask each candidate what the project left behind that a regulator can inspect: filtering rules, evaluation set, audit trail, monitoring. The curator notes that Datatonic's write-ups quantify engineering rather than outcome, Zühlke's cases rarely carry a number, and Babel's headline figures name no client, so ask for the measured result too. Where an agency documents no named financial-services system, as with OstraconAI's outbound campaigns or Instituto de Ingeniería del Conocimiento's utility and hospital work, weigh the FinTech tag accordingly.

## Questions buyers ask

### How many AI agencies work with project-based on fintech?
52 agencies in our directory combine verified project-based client evidence with documented FinTech work. The current top-ranked are Storm Technology, Lexunit, Pixelette Technologies — ordered by depth of documented client evidence, then our editorial scoring (portfolio quality, credibility, completeness); placement is never paid.

### How much does an AI agency cost for fintech?
Published rates across this page's agencies run €20–400 per hour (median ~€65). Project totals depend on scope — the rate index at /rates breaks the computed bands down by region, country and team size.

### How is the project-based model verified?
Every agency here documents project-based work on its own site or in a published case study, describing the engagement structure rather than a service-list claim. We never infer the model from portfolio tone, so this list only contains agencies that operate project-based engagements deliberately.

### Can these agencies embed consultants with our team?
12 of the agencies on this page document an embedded / team-extension working model. See the team-extension page for the full verified list, or check the engagement chips on individual profiles.
