Hawk, a provider of AI-driven financial crime and compliance solutions, has broadened its global partner program in a move designed to strengthen collaboration across its expanding partner network.
Central to the expansion is the launch of a dedicated Partner Portal alongside a new training and certification pathway. These additions aim to give partners simpler routes to the knowledge, resources, training and support required to fully grasp Hawk’s technology and the potential of AI within financial crime and compliance work.
The move comes as banks and other financial institutions face mounting pressure to apply AI in modernising their anti-money laundering, screening and fraud prevention functions. Simultaneously, these firms must keep pace with shifting regulatory demands while overhauling their governance frameworks, controls and operating models.
Addressing this dual challenge, Hawk argues, demands more than technology alone. It requires advisory know-how, implementation strength, data, governance and a thorough grasp of each institution’s operational context. The partner program is built to unite these capabilities under one framework.
The upgraded initiative also sets out a clearer structure for how partners can engage with Hawk across areas including customer engagement, joint go-to-market efforts, thought leadership, solution development and implementation.
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.”
