Hawk

Hawk provides a financial crime compliance platform that covers anti-money-laundering (AML) transaction monitoring, customer and payment screening, and fraud prevention, with an all-in-one FRAML option. The website describes explainable machine learning used to reduce false positive alerts, along with AI agents for AML investigations and CDD. Deployment is offered as SaaS or private cloud.

The customers are banks, payment firms and fintechs, and the website names Ebury and Alviere as users of its AML products. The company sells its platform under contracts that can bundle several modules, but the website does not describe pricing or revenue model in detail.

Hawk, originally known as HAWK:AI, was founded in Munich in 2018 by Wolfgang Berner and Tobias Schweiger. The leadership page lists ten executives. The careers page shows 22 open roles in London, Munich, Berlin, Singapore, Malaysia and the United States, mainly in sales, customer, marketing, engineering and information security, and states that the team has 30+ nationalities.

Product: Cloud-based AML transaction monitoring, customer and payment screening, and fraud detection platform with AI agents, offered as SaaS or private cloud.
