Persado Launches Marketing Compliance AI to Accelerate Financial Services Content
NEW YORK, May 22, 2025 — Persado, a leader in AI-powered marketing compliance and content performance solutions, has introduced Persado Marketing Compliance AI. This new agentic AI platform is built specifically for financial services marketing and legal teams to speed up the release of customer communications.
The platform integrates regulatory compliance checks, performance prediction scoring, and brand fit analysis, enabling companies to quickly spot and fix risks in their content. This reduces legal review times by as much as 90%, helping marketing teams get campaigns to market faster.
Streamlining Compliance Without Sacrificing Performance
Persado Marketing Compliance AI detects non-compliant language in bank communications and provides relevant regulatory guidelines alongside alternative messages that comply with the rules, stay on-brand, and perform well. It scans content for risks like bias or misleading claims and resolves issues immediately. Integration with workflow and design tools means banks can accelerate campaigns across email, web, social media, SMS, and direct mail.
Marketing teams want to drive growth, while compliance teams focus on risk reduction. This tension often causes delays and compromises business goals. With high volumes of content and the need for quick messaging shifts during economic changes, these delays can hinder both customer experience and business results.
Assaf Baciu, Persado’s President and Co-founder, points out the scale of the issue: the back-and-forth between marketing and legal consumes 22 million hours annually in the U.S., costing around $5.5 billion in legal time alone. Persado’s solution tackles this inefficiency head-on.
Designed for Retail Banks and Credit Unions
Persado’s Marketing Compliance AI is available now, targeting large and mid-size retail banks and credit unions. It leverages AI agents and benefits from a decade of insights gathered from partnerships with eight of the top ten U.S. banks. The average results include:
- 90% reduction in review time
- 85% reduction in compliance rejections
- Over 80% reduction in campaign cycle time
According to a 2025 report by Celent, 53% of banks prioritize AI and analytics technology investments. AI that breaks down silos between marketing and compliance can speed time to market and improve communication performance.
How AI Agents Maintain Compliance, Brand Voice, and Performance
Persado’s AI uses insights from over one million in-market language A/B tests to ensure accuracy and growth. Its multi-agent system learns continuously from public regulatory updates and consent orders, refining its analysis with every use.
The AI agents include:
- Regulation agents: Identify relevant regulations and check content adherence (e.g., FTC Act Section 5, UDAAP, ECOA, FSRA, TCPA).
- Marketing agents: Evaluate message performance and brand alignment.
- Library and oversight agents: Validate content, resolve flagged issues, and reference market and company precedents.
The solution supports analysis of copy in PDF, text, and image formats against federal, state, and local laws. It offers a library of high-risk expressions, performance scoring, disclaimer checks, and customizable compliance rules. Real-time collaboration workflows let marketing and legal teams work together efficiently within the platform.
The Scale of Content Compliance Challenges
Each year, approximately 5,000 banks and 1,000 fintech companies in the U.S. review around 4.5 million marketing messages. Every message requires about six exchanges between marketing and compliance and takes about five hours of legal time. At an estimated $250 per hour for legal work, this adds up to 22.5 million hours and $5.5 billion spent annually on compliance reviews.
