Sedric Joins the American Fintech Council (AFC) to Advance Marketing and Communications Governance with Dynamic Execution Layer Unlocking AI Compliance in Financial Services

Agentic AI platform provides financial institutions and fintechs with real-time guardrails that support provable compliance.

New York, NY (August 6, 2026) — The American Fintech Council (AFC), the largest industry association representing both responsible fintech companies and innovative banks, announced the addition of Sedric as its newest member. Sedric is an Agentic AI platform that codifies regulatory requirements into automated, real-time AI controls for financial services teams. Sedric monitors marketing, communications, and partner content at scale, helping fintechs, banks and other financial services firms ensure compliance across every customer touchpoint.

“Sedric’s work to provide an automated compliance infrastructure is critical to growing the responsible fintech and banking sectors, as they help companies securely scale their operations while safeguarding consumer trust,” said Phil Goldfeder, CEO of the American Fintech Council. “By offering a software platform built specifically for regulated financial services, Sedric demonstrates how new technology helps empower firms to build responsibly. We are pleased to welcome them to AFC as we continue to work for standards that protect consumers and enable responsible innovation.”

Sedric integrates directly into existing financial technology stacks, customer relationship management tools, and communication channels to translate regulatory mandates and internal policies into automated risk controls. Sedric pre-screens marketing assets, monitors customer interactions across channels, and logs compliance decisions. Through automating these monitoring processes, Sedric helps firms to consistently maintain regulatory oversight while managing operations across state and federal rules.

“Financial products are increasingly distributed through partners, affiliates, and embedded channels, but accountability still sits with the licensed institution,” said Sedric CEO Nir Laznik. “That gap is where consumer harm and enforcement risk actually live — and it’s widening as AI collapses the cost of producing content and conversations at scale. Reviewing a small sample after the fact was never designed for this. AFC is where banks and fintechs are working out what responsible partnership looks like in practice, and we want Sedric’s role in that to be building the controls that make it provable.”
