## Which rules apply to a bank using Oscilar?

- [Federal Reserve](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/federal-reserve) — Oscilar's credit and fraud ML models and the decision workflows banks build on it feed underwriting and account decisions, so a bank must inventory, validate and monitor them under SR 26-2; the Agent Hub agents that draft rules and review alerts fall to the bank's broader risk management, since SR 26-2 leaves generative and agentic AI outside its scope. See [SR 26-2](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/documents/fed-sr-26-2).
- [OCC](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/occ) — A bank running credit, fraud or AML decisions on Oscilar takes on third-party risk OCC Bulletin 2023-17 expects it to manage, including Oscilar's own downstream data providers; sponsor banks using its Mission Control view of fintech partners still own those programs, and OCC Bulletin 2026-13 sets model-risk expectations for vendor models. See [OCC Bulletin 2023-17](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/documents/occ-bulletin-2023-17), [OCC Bulletin 2026-13](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/documents/occ-bulletin-2026-13).
- [FinCEN](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/fincen) — Oscilar's AML platform monitors transactions, screens sanctions and drafts SAR narratives with generative AI, but the BSA/AML filing duty and the judgment on each SAR stay with the bank; its device and behavioral intelligence targets the AI-enabled identity fraud FinCEN's 2024 deepfake alert describes. See [2018 Joint Statement on BSA/AML Innovation](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/documents/fincen-joint-statement-innovation-2018), [FIN-2024-Alert004 (Deepfake Media)](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/documents/fincen-alert-2024-deepfake-media).
- [CFPB](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/cfpb) — When a bank declines credit through an Oscilar workflow, including on TransUnion's synthetic-fraud or credit-washing scores that Oscilar puts on the same adverse action notice, ECOA/Regulation B and FCRA require specific reasons and key factors to be given to the applicant. See [ECOA / Regulation B adverse action (15 U.S.C. 1691(d); 12 CFR 1002.9)](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/documents/cfpb-ecoa-regulation-b-adverse-action), [FCRA adverse action and credit-score disclosures (15 U.S.C. 1681m, 1681g(f))](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/documents/cfpb-fcra-adverse-action-key-factors).

## What the record suggests

### Pricing is not published

Oscilar quotes custom prices based on transaction volume and use cases after a demo, so cost comparisons depend on quotes.

### No outside investors and no disclosed valuation

Oscilar is funded by its two co-founders ($20 million at launch) and says it has taken no outside investment, so there are no funding rounds or investor filings to judge its finances by.

### One named large-bank customer

Among our 100 banks only SoFi is named with a described use; Oscilar's other named customers are mostly fintechs, payment companies and smaller banks such as TransPecos Banks.

### Results are vendor-reported

The SoFi speed gains, Agent Hub's 45% false-positive reduction and the TransPecos savings come from Oscilar's own releases; the TransPecos figures were projections at selection, and none are independently audited.

### A former SoFi chief risk officer advises Oscilar

Oscilar lists Kevin Moss, former chief risk officer at SoFi, among its advisors, which a buyer weighing the SoFi reference may want to know.

## FAQ

### How much does Oscilar cost?

Oscilar does not publish prices. Its pricing link leads to a demo-request page, and its Nacha landing page says it offers flexible pricing based on transaction volume and use cases, with a custom quote and ROI projection on request. No plan names, platform fees or per-decision rates are public, so banks comparing it with other decisioning platforms need a quote.

### Which banks use Oscilar?

Among the 100 banks we track, SoFi is the named customer: Oscilar says SoFi runs credit underwriting, collections and fraud decisioning on its platform and deploys new credit-risk strategies 50% faster. TransPecos Banks, a Texas community bank, selected Oscilar's AML platform in 2024 for its banking-as-a-service programs. Oscilar says more than 100 financial institutions use it, most of the others being fintechs and payment firms such as MoneyGram, Payoneer, Nuvei and dLocal.

### Who owns Oscilar?

Oscilar is a private company owned and funded by its co-founders, CEO Neha Narkhede, who co-created Apache Kafka and co-founded Confluent, and CTO Sachin Kulkarni, formerly a senior engineering director at Facebook. They put $20 million into the company at its 2023 launch, and Oscilar said in June 2026 that they had built it without outside investment. No valuation has been disclosed.

### Is Oscilar a bank or regulated?

No. Oscilar is a software company that sells a risk decisioning platform; it holds no bank charter. Banks that use it remain responsible for their own BSA/AML programs, SAR filings, fair-lending and adverse-action obligations, and they oversee Oscilar as a third-party vendor, including the data providers integrated into its platform.

### What is Oscilar Agent Hub?

Agent Hub, launched June 3, 2026, is a suite of more than 30 AI agents inside Oscilar's platform. They build risk workflows from plain-language descriptions, answer data questions, recommend rule changes, review first-line AML alerts and sanctions hits, handle fraud disputes and write credit decision explanations. Oscilar says analysts confirm, adjust or override each recommendation, and it credits the Workflow agent for SoFi's faster strategy deployment.

### Does Oscilar handle AML compliance as well as fraud and credit?

Yes. Since April 2024 Oscilar has sold an AML platform with transaction monitoring, case management and AI-drafted SAR narratives, plus a dashboard that lets sponsor banks oversee fintech partners; sanctions screening and an AML alert-review agent followed. TransPecos Banks selected it for sponsor-bank oversight, MoneyGram uses it for fraud and AML, and dLocal for AML monitoring and sanctions screening. The bank still makes and files every SAR decision itself.
