At Basket, we embrace technology that empowers people. Today, we highlight advancements in Fintech and agentic A.I., demonstrating how A.I. can enhance finance, cybersecurity, and investments to create safer, more productive environments. Unique, a Swiss fintech startup founded by Manuel Grenacher, Andreas Hauri, and Michelle Heppler, exemplifies this progress. Unique AI, a vertical AI company based in Switzerland, recently secured $30 million in Series A funding, highlighting its growing influence in the FinTech sector ("Unique AI secures $30m in Series A to transform FinTech with agentic AI" 2025). (Generative AI in Financial Services Market Size Report, 2030, n.d.) Financial institutions worldwide are facing increasing regulatory demands and rapidly growing data volumes, making advanced AI tools essential. Unique distinguishes itself through advanced natural language processing that analyses conversation data, enabling banks to extract actionable insights and automate compliance monitoring. Its machine learning algorithms identify patterns in client interactions, support smarter investment strategies, and ensure secure transactions. We view startups like Unique as essential to making finance safer and more efficient. Technology should extend our abilities, and A.I. should empower people and improve systems such as transportation and healthcare.
Unique enables bankers to make better investment decisions, supports secure operations, and saves employees time. Its revenue model aligns with typical Software as a Service (SaaS) structures, relying mainly on a subscription fee with tiered pricing that reflects different levels of analytics, compliance features, and integration support; in addition, premium modules for advanced reporting and custom solutions contribute to recurring revenue (García-Fernández, Parejo, and Ruiz-Cortés 2024). For example, Unique’s platform has reduced manual compliance tracking by up to 30 per cent for clients, and automated data analysis has decreased reporting errors.

According to investors, Unique is among Switzerland’s most promising fintech startups of 2025 due to its strong commercial momentum, including notable revenue growth and client acquisition.
