Hawk

Hawk is a cloud, modular platform for AML transaction monitoring, payment screening and fraud detection built on explainable AI. It was founded in 2018, with offices in Munich and New York, and serves Europe, the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore and LATAM across more than 60 countries.

Products The product list includes AI transaction monitoring (AML/KYT), real-time payment screening (ISO 20022), dynamic customer risk rating (pKYC) and fraud. The company states that explainable AI reduces false-positive AML alerts by up to 70 percent.

Clients Target customers are banks, PSPs (Computop and Ratepay are named), BaaS providers and fintechs.

Pricing Hawk is sold as enterprise SaaS. Prices and module scope are agreed individually and should be requested from the company. Because alerts come with explanations of why a transaction was flagged, compliance teams can review cases faster and document decisions for regulators.
