We are thrilled that Unique has been featured in a recent article by Pascal Schmuck (AGEFI), highlighting our pioneering work in artificial intelligence (AI) within the finance sector. This recognition underscores our commitment to revolutionizing finance through innovative AI solutions.

 

The highlights of the newspaper article: 

Unique, based in Zurich, has rapidly made a name for itself in the financial world. Established in 2021, the company specializes in cutting-edge AI solutions tailored to the needs of the financial sector. We are proud to serve prominent Swiss banks, including PostFinance and Pictet, the latter of which has been leveraging our technology since October.

Founded by CTO Andreas Hauri and CEO Manuel Grenacher, Unique’s journey began in 2021 with a small team of visioneries. Today, the company employs about 60 people, underscoring its swift growth and industry impact. Unique’s flagship product, FinanceGPT, offers a base model, with clients able to add specialized modules tailored to specific financial industry needs.

Unique’s success extends beyond the banking sector. Over half of our clients come from various industries, utilizing FinanceGPT to enhance productivity significantly. For instance, Pictet reports that our solution allows their users to save an average of one to two hours per week. With over 3000 active users monthly, our platform demonstrates its efficiency and impact.

We are also expanding our reach through strategic international partnerships. Unique is present in Berlin and Singapore, collaborating with global giants like PwC and Microsoft. These partnerships are crucial as we continue to develop and refine our solutions to meet the specific needs of our clients.

Unique's future is bright, with plans to enter the Initial Public Offering (IPO) space and expand our financial models to new verticals. We are also closely monitoring regulatory developments in Bern, advocating for a pragmatic approach to AI regulation. This will further bolster the competitiveness of the Swiss financial industry on the global stage.

 


 

At Unique, we remain dedicated to our mission of making AI accessible to the finance sector, driving efficiency, and fostering innovation. This feature is a testament to our hard work and the transformative impact of our solutions.

A special thanks to Pascal Schmuck and the team at AGEFI for recognizing our efforts and sharing our story with a broader audience.
