Singapore-based AI startup Pints AI has raised $5.6 million in a pre-Series A funding round led by Tin Men Capital, with SBI Ven Capital as co-lead investor. Other participants included SEEDS, NTUitive, SUTD Venture Fund, and Tenity.
The new funding will help the company expand its AI platform for banks and insurance firms across the Asia-Pacific region and the Middle East.
Pints AI's platform, called Autothought, integrates with the core systems of financial institutions and automates tasks such as underwriting, claims processing, and customer onboarding. It also creates a complete audit trail for every AI-driven decision, helping institutions meet regulatory requirements. Within two years, 12 financial institutions across four countries have reportedly saved a combined $10 million using the platform.
The company plans to use the funding to grow its engineering team, strengthen governance and compliance features, and develop Autothought Studio, a toolkit that will allow financial institutions to build and manage their own AI applications.
Pints AI aims to solve a major challenge in the financial sector, where many AI projects fail to move beyond pilot stages due to strict regulatory requirements. Its platform ensures that every AI-assisted decision can be traced back to its source data while uncertain results are automatically flagged for human review.
Autothought is designed to comply with regulations from authorities including the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the Reserve Bank of India, and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority.
Partha Rao, CEO and Co-founder of Pints AI, said financial institutions that successfully integrate AI into key functions such as underwriting, credit assessments, claims processing, and compliance will gain a significant competitive advantage. He added that Autothought was designed to ensure every AI-driven decision can be tracked, audited, and justified to regulators anywhere in the world.
Murli Ravi, Co-founder and Managing Partner at Tin Men Capital, said Pints AI has quietly helped financial institutions deploy compliant and auditable AI systems, generating millions of dollars in savings for clients. He believes this type of measurable business value will drive the next wave of AI adoption globally.
Eiichiro So, CEO of SBI Ven Capital, said Pints AI has a deep understanding of the compliance-focused requirements of regulated industries. He added that Autothought is built to provide the transparency and reliability financial institutions need to confidently use AI in real-world operations.
