# ValidMind for banks: pricing, customers, review

Source: https://www.bankingnewsai.com/vendors/validmind
Last updated: Sep 24, 2026

*Sells a subscription platform that keeps a bank's model inventory, automates model documentation, testing and validation, and routes governance workflows, directly and through Experian's Ascend Platform and a Genpact managed-service offer.*

## What is ValidMind, and which banks use it?

ValidMind is a Palo Alto company founded in March 2022 that sells model-risk-management and AI-governance software: model inventory, documentation and validation automation, monitoring, and, since June 2026, early access to agent controls. It is private, backed by Point72 Ventures, which led an $8.1 million seed round in March 2024. None of our 100 banks is named as a customer; its one bank case study names only a Fortune 500 bank. Pricing is not published; ValidMind quotes per model count, complexity and deployment. It has published an SR 26-2 implementation guide.

## Key points

- Founded in March 2022 by Jonas Jacobi (CEO), Andres Rodriguez (CTO) and Mehdi Esmail; based in Palo Alto, California.
- Raised an $8.1 million seed round led by Point72 Ventures in March 2024, bringing total funding to $11.1 million; later rounds, if any, are not announced on its newsroom.
- Sells four modules -- AI Governance, AI and Model Risk Management, Validation Automation and Development Automation -- with prices quoted on request; its pricing page says price depends on the number of models and AI systems, governance complexity, automation needs and deployment.
- Reaches banks through partners as well as directly: Experian's Assistant for Model Risk Management (launched July 2025) is powered by ValidMind technology inside the Experian Ascend Platform, and Genpact co-sells a Model Risk Management as a Service offer (March 2025).
- Published an SR 26-2 implementation guide organised around the guidance's four priorities (model definition, materiality tiering, ongoing monitoring, inventory), and a blog noting SR 26-2 excludes generative and agentic AI from its scope.

## Which rules apply to a bank using ValidMind?

- [Federal Reserve](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/federal-reserve) — SR 26-2 is the framework ValidMind maps to: its docs guide walks through model versus non-model definition, materiality tiering, ongoing monitoring and inventory, and its blog notes SR 26-2 leaves generative and agentic AI (where Agent Authority is aimed) outside scope. See [SR 26-2](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/documents/fed-sr-26-2).
- [OCC](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/occ) — An OCC-supervised bank storing its model inventory and validation evidence in ValidMind's hosted platform must manage ValidMind as a third party, and OCC 2026-13 sets the model-risk expectations the evidence is meant to show. See [OCC Bulletin 2026-13](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/documents/occ-bulletin-2026-13), [OCC Bulletin 2023-17](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/documents/occ-bulletin-2023-17).
- [FDIC](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/fdic) — The FDIC adopted the same interagency model-risk guidance; ValidMind's SR 26-2 guide cites the FDIC as a co-issuer, so state non-member banks using it map to FIL-15-2026. See [FDIC FIL-15-2026](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/documents/fdic-fil-15-2026).
- [EU AI Act](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/eu-ai-act) — ValidMind markets EU AI Act support -- risk classification of models into the Act's tiers, inventory of third-party general-purpose AI and documentation -- relevant to a bank with EU operations using AI for creditworthiness assessment. See [Regulation (EU) 2024/1689](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/documents/eu-ai-act-regulation-2024-1689).

## What the record suggests

### No named bank customer in the public record

ValidMind's only bank case study is anonymised ('a Fortune 500 Bank'), and none of our 100 bank pages names it; the named relationships are distribution partners (Experian, Genpact) rather than banks.

### Pricing is not published

The pricing page lists four modules with 'Request quote' only; ValidMind says price depends on model count, governance complexity, automation needs and deployment.

### Some bank access runs through Experian

Banks already on Experian's Ascend Platform can buy ValidMind technology as the Experian Assistant for Model Risk Management, in which case the contract and support sit with Experian.

### SR 26-2 mapping is published and specific

ValidMind's docs include a step-by-step SR 26-2 guide covering model definition, materiality tiering, monitoring and inventory, which a buyer can compare with its own policy before a demo.

### Agent controls are early-stage

Agent Authority was in early access in June 2026 and is built on an open-source project released the same month; there is no public production reference yet.

### Case-study results are vendor-reported

The 12-week rollout and 545-user figures come from ValidMind's own case study of an unnamed bank; the 70% approval-time reduction is Experian's figure.

## FAQ

### How much does ValidMind cost?

ValidMind does not publish prices. Its pricing page lists four modules -- AI Governance, AI and Model Risk Management, Validation Automation and Development Automation -- each with a 'Request quote' button, and says price depends on the number of models and AI systems, governance complexity, automation needs and deployment requirements. Onboarding, training and customer-success sessions are included in the subscription licence.

### Which banks use ValidMind?

None of the 100 largest US banks tracked on this site is publicly named as a ValidMind customer. ValidMind's November 2025 case study describes an unnamed 'Fortune 500 Bank' that chose it after a proof of value with more than 60 testers and moved production users onto it in 12 weeks; it reports 545 active users there (vendor-reported).

### Who owns ValidMind?

ValidMind is a private company founded in 2022 by Jonas Jacobi, Andres Rodriguez and Mehdi Esmail. Its announced funding is an $8.1 million seed round in March 2024 led by Point72 Ventures, with Third Prime, New York Life Ventures, AI Fund, Notion Capital, FJ Labs, Angel Invest and Gaingels, taking total funding to $11.1 million. No valuation has been published.

### Does ValidMind support SR 26-2?

ValidMind publishes an SR 26-2 guide in its documentation, organised around the guidance's four priorities: separating models from non-models, tiering by materiality (exposure and purpose), ongoing monitoring and outcomes analysis, and an enterprise inventory. Its April 2026 blog also notes SR 26-2 excludes generative and agentic AI from scope, which it positions its broader AI-governance and Agent Authority products to cover.

### Can ValidMind be deployed in a bank's own cloud?

ValidMind's documentation describes a hosted platform with private-link access over AWS PrivateLink, Google Cloud Private Service Connect or Azure Private Link, and a single-tenant option called Virtual Private ValidMind. Model code and data stay in the bank's environment; the ValidMind Library sends test results and documentation to the platform.

### ValidMind vs SAS Model Risk Management?

ValidMind is a venture-backed company founded in 2022 that sells a hosted governance and validation-automation platform and a Python library for developers. SAS Model Risk Management is a module of SAS's long-established risk software. One former SAS model-risk leader, David Asermely, joined ValidMind in May 2025. Neither publishes prices.
