Fintech company GSTechnologies Limited (LON:GST) has entered into an investment agreement with Wide Ascent Limited (WAL) in relation to a proposed strategic investment in Sodales AI Pte. Ltd, a Singapore-based artificial intelligence company established to develop and commercialise an enterprise-scale Agentic Artificial Intelligence Operating System (Agentic OS).

Subject to the execution of definitive legal documentation and the satisfaction of customary completion conditions, GST has agreed to invest US$1.0 million in Sodales AI in exchange for a 10% equity interest.

The investment will be funded from the Company’s existing financial resources, including the recently announced US$10 million unsecured loan facility.

The GST Board believes that artificial intelligence will become an increasingly important component of future financial services, complementing developments in digital payments, blockchain infrastructure and digital assets.

GST has continued to develop its technology platform across regulated payment services, blockchain infrastructure, stable token technology and cross-border payment solutions. The proposed Investment in Sodales AI represents a further step in that strategy as it is expected to provide the Group with exposure to enterprise-scale agentic AI technologies and the opportunity to collaborate on the development of AI-powered banking and payment solutions.

Under the investment agreement, Sodales AI will assist with the design, development and deployment of an agentic AI neobanking platform for GST and its subsidiary, Angra. The platform is intended to integrate autonomous AI agents with the Group’s payment infrastructure, blockchain technology, stable token ecosystem and intelligent compliance processes, supporting the continued evolution of GST’s digital financial services platform.

The Board believes that the convergence of artificial intelligence, blockchain technology and regulated financial services presents significant long-term opportunities and that this investment complements GST’s objective of building an integrated technology platform for the next-generation of financial services.

Following completion of GST’s proposed investment, Sodales AI intends to undertake a Series A funding round approximately six months later, targeting gross proceeds of between US$5 million and US$10 million for a 10% equity interest in Sodales AI, to accelerate product development, commercial deployment and international expansion.

Jack Bai, Chief Executive Officer of GS Technologies, commented:

“Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping financial services, and we believe it will become an increasingly important component of modern payment and banking platforms.

“We believe that our investment in Sodales AI complements the technological capabilities we have been building across payments, blockchain infrastructure and digital assets, while providing the opportunity to participate in the development of enterprise-scale Agentic AI.

“We are particularly excited by the opportunity to work with Sodales AI on AI-enabled banking solutions for the Group. This investment will be another important milestone in the execution of our strategy to build an integrated financial technology platform that combines artificial intelligence, blockchain technology and digital payments to create long-term value for our customers and shareholders.”
