CLPS Incorporation and The Bank of East Asia (BEA) announced a partnership to run a proof‑of‑concept of CLPS’s Nibot AI agent in the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s GenA.I. Sandbox. The PoC, which began on November 7 2025, will test Nibot’s integration of robotic process automation (RPA) and generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to streamline banking operations, strengthen regulatory compliance, and enhance risk‑management workflows.
Nibot, launched as an RPA product in February 2025, combines rule‑based automation with generative AI to create, optimize, and monitor business processes. CLPS’s dual‑engine strategy—organic client acquisition coupled with continuous technology enhancement—positions Nibot as a core component of its AI platform. The sandbox partnership is a milestone that gives CLPS early access to a regulated testing environment and a high‑profile banking client, creating a potential pathway to commercial deployments with BEA and other banks.
CLPS reported fiscal‑year 2025 revenue of $164.48 million, up 15.17% from $142.81 million in 2024, driven largely by growth in its IT Services segment. Net loss widened to $7.05 million from $1.8 million the previous year, reflecting significant investment in R&D and the expansion of its AI capabilities. The company’s Academic Education Services segment remained flat, underscoring the need to balance new‑product development with existing revenue streams.
"The PoC of Nibot will underscore further validation within the GenA.I. Sandbox," said CEO Raymond Lin. BEA’s Head of Fintech Development, Mourice Pang, added, "Collaborating with CLPS in the HKMA sandbox marks an important step in reshaping banking operations through advanced AI technologies. Leveraging BEA’s banking expertise and CLPS’s technology strengths, we are dedicated to developing AI‑driven tools like Nibot to enhance operational efficiency and drive digital transformation in banking." CLPS Vice‑President Robin An noted, "Our collaboration with BEA is about turning the vision of hyper‑automation into reality. Through the sandbox, we aim to explore Nibot’s full potential to optimize financial workflows, enhance operational efficiency, and establish a future‑ready intelligent risk‑control system."
The partnership places CLPS in a strong position to showcase its AI platform to other financial institutions. By demonstrating Nibot’s capabilities in a regulated environment, CLPS can validate its technology, build credibility, and accelerate the commercialization of its AI solutions. The HKMA sandbox’s second cohort focuses on risk‑management and customer‑experience use cases, aligning with CLPS’s goal of delivering AI‑driven risk controls and process automation to banks. Successful outcomes from the PoC could open new revenue streams for CLPS and reinforce its competitive stance in the fintech AI market.
