Hawk, a provider of AI-powered financial crime and compliance technology, has expanded its global partner programme as financial institutions look to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence across anti-money laundering, screening and fraud prevention operations.
The company has launched a dedicated Partner Portal and new training and certification pathway designed to help partners support customer engagement, implementation, solution development and joint go-to-market activity.
The expanded programme provides partners with access to training, resources and technical support to better understand Hawk’s technology and the role AI can play in modernising financial crime operations.
The move comes as banks and financial institutions face increasing pressure to adopt AI while navigating evolving regulatory expectations, governance requirements and the challenge of integrating new technologies into existing compliance frameworks.
Hawk said successful AI adoption requires more than technology alone, with institutions needing access to implementation expertise, data capabilities, governance frameworks and industry knowledge.
Hawk CEO and co-founder Tobias Schweiger said, “Financial institutions want to operationalise AI effectively and at scale for financial crime and compliance. Our partners play an essential role in helping institutions navigate that transformation. By combining Hawk’s explainable AI and financial crime expertise with the capabilities of our partner ecosystem, we can deliver stronger and more sustainable outcomes for customers.”
Deloitte Germany partner, financial crime, Martin Hirtreiter added, “Financial institutions are increasingly looking beyond AI experimentation toward practical adoption across financial crime operations.
“Achieving that transition requires more than technology alone. It calls for a clear operating model, robust governance, strong implementation capabilities, and deep financial crime expertise. Collaboration across advisory and technology partners can help institutions translate AI ambition into responsible and measurable transformation,” he said.
