$56M Series C Investment Enables Hawk to Enhance AI-Powered Financial Crime Detection Worldwide

Hawk, a leading provider of AI-driven solutions for anti-money laundering (AML), screening, and fraud prevention, has secured $56 million in a Series C funding round led by One Peak. The funding will support global expansion, particularly into the U.S., and accelerate product innovation.

CEO Tobias Schweiger said Hawk’s platform is designed to increase detection accuracy while significantly reducing false positives, helping financial institutions uncover criminal activity that legacy rules-based systems often miss. Hawk’s technology is currently used by over 80 financial institutions worldwide, including regulated banks and fintechs.

Schweiger added that Hawk’s AI-first approach is enabling institutions to double detection rates while easing compliance workloads.
