The announcement
London – 29/07/2026 — Curvestone, the AI compliance platform for regulated financial services, today announced that it has been named an OpenAI Select Partner within the OpenAI Partner Network.
The OpenAI Partner Network is a global program for partners to build, sell, and deliver AI solutions with OpenAI. It brings together partners with deep industry expertise, delivery capabilities, and customer relationships while equipping them with resources, enablement, and support to help enterprises adopt OpenAI frontier models and products and turn them into measurable impact.
What it means for regulated firms
As an OpenAI Select Partner, Curvestone will continue working with OpenAI to help organizations build, deploy, and scale AI solutions responsibly and effectively. This work will help organizations get more useful work from every token and stronger performance per dollar with GPT‑5.6, while using ChatGPT Work to turn ambitious goals into finished work. Curvestone’s platform automates the compliance checks regulated firms run — spanning use cases such as full case-file reviews, financial promotions, and financial crime controls— for mortgage brokers, networks, lenders, and wealth advisers operating across the UK.
“Being named an OpenAI Select Partner recognises the work we’re doing to put the best available AI models to work in one of the most heavily regulated corners of financial services. Compliance is where AI has to be right, not just fast — and partnering with OpenAI lets us give mortgage, lending, and advice firms the confidence to automate regulatory work without cutting corners,” said Dawid Kotur, Founder and CEO, Curvestone.
The platform can review every case rather than a sample, moving firms from spot-checking a fraction of files towards 100% coverage. That de-risks the business and turns compliance from a cost centre into a growth function — letting firms scale volume without adding headcount or risk, backed by an audit-ready evidence trail on every case.
Looking ahead
Looking ahead, Curvestone plans to deepen its use of OpenAI models, broaden the checks its platform can run, and bring AI automation to more firms across the sector, helping customers translate AI ambition into business outcomes.

Adopt AI or be left behind: the choice facing UK financial services
UK financial services firms no longer choose whether to adopt AI, only how far along they are. The FCA's Mills Review, published in July 2026, confirms the existing rulebook holds but expects firms to evidence accuracy, reliability and accountability far more rigorously as autonomy grows.
Point of viewAI won't replace your compliance team. It gives them time back.
Curvestone does not replace compliance teams. Our human in the loop model keeps a named person accountable for every output, which is what the FCA's Mills Review asks of firms deploying AI. The AI carries the repetitive checking load. Your people keep the judgement, the escalation and the final decision.
Point of viewCompliance was a cost centre. The Mills Review makes it an advantage.
The Mills Review, the FCA's July 2026 report on AI in financial services, reframes compliance governance. On page 31 it says firms that can evidence auditable, explainable AI will deploy it more confidently and could win business. Governance stops being a cost and becomes the condition for using AI at all.
