Hawk, a provider of AI-powered financial crime and compliance technology, has broadened its global partner program with the launch of a dedicated Partner Portal alongside a new training and certification pathway.
The expansion is intended to strengthen collaboration across Hawk’s growing partner network, giving firms a clearer structure for working with the company on customer engagement, joint go-to-market efforts, thought leadership, solution development and implementation.
Banks and other financial institutions are facing mounting demands to modernise their anti-money laundering, screening and fraud prevention functions with AI, while simultaneously keeping pace with shifting regulatory expectations and refreshing their governance frameworks, controls and operating models.
According to Hawk, meeting these demands takes more than technology on its own. It requires advisory know-how, implementation strength, data, governance and a thorough grasp of each institution’s operating environment. The Partner Program has been built to unite these capabilities in one place.
The upgraded scheme will also simplify how partners access the knowledge, content, training and support needed to fully understand Hawk’s platform and the potential for AI across financial crime and compliance.
Hawk CEO and co-founder Tobias Schweiger said, “Financial institutions want to operationalize 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 said, “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.”
