Kastle raises $24M for banking agents

Kastle raised a $24 million Series A to expand AI agents that execute consumer-lending work across banks’ existing systems, saying its agents have processed more than $1.8 billion in transactions. The company’s funding announcement frames legacy-system compatibility—not core replacement—as its wedge into regulated finance. Operators can file the pattern beside the archive’s evidence gap for AI employees: capacity claims are useful, but production rollouts still need auditable transaction boundaries and human escalation.
