Hawk AML
Munich, Germany
What it is
Hawk AML is software for financial institutions that uses rules and AI to identify suspicious activity and reduce unnecessary alerts. Its platform combines customer due diligence, watchlist screening, and transaction monitoring across different client, product, and transaction types. Monitoring addresses money-laundering typologies and lists ACH, BACS, card, check, P2P, SEPA, SWIFT, and wire channels. Case management spans AML, fraud, and screening, with alert queues, assignments, investigative workflows, and audit trails. Hawk says alerts include an auditable rationale to support investigations. Teams can configure rules themselves and test them in a sandbox. APIs support real-time transaction checks and customer AML risk scoring. Deployment options for the AML solution include SaaS, VPC, and on-premises, and Hawk says it can integrate with existing core banking and data management systems. The company describes its intended customers as banks, payment firms, fintechs, and other regulated entities. Pricing is available on request; prospective customers are directed to request a demo.
