Hawk Named Category Leader by Chartis, Ranked Among Top Global AML Providers

Hawk, the leading provider of AI-powered fraud prevention, anti-money laundering (AML), and screening solutions, has been named a Category Leader in the 2025 Chartis Research RiskTech Quadrant® for AML Transaction Monitoring Solutions, for its AI innovation and impact on next-generation AML detection and compliance.  

The 2025 Chartis Quadrant rates Hawk among the leading global providers of AML transaction monitoring solutions, marking a major leap in innovation and market presence, and reinforcing Hawk’s role as a pioneer in applying AI to modernize AML programs. 

Wolfgang Berner, Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder of Hawk, said: “AML is undergoing a significant transformation. Traditional rules can’t keep pace with the speed and complexity of modern money laundering activity.  At Hawk, we believe AI will define the next era of AML — one built on adaptability and trusted AI, underpinned by transparency, explainability, and built-in model governance.”  

Over the past year, Hawk has expanded its AML transaction monitoring capabilities with new AI-driven typology libraries, expanded rule and model development capabilities, and added a new production sandbox environment for tuning and optimization. Hawk also introduced its AML AI Overlay technology earlier this year, which enhances detection accuracy, accelerates model deployment, and delivers measurable performance gains across existing AML systems. These innovations help financial institutions identify emerging risks with precision, reduce false positives, and maintain transparency across their compliance operations. 

Sean O’Malley, Research Director at Chartis Research, added: “Hawk’s placement as a Category Leader reflects the maturity of its AI capabilities in advanced AML monitoring. The firm stands out for pairing strong detection performance and processing speed with explainable results, a balance increasingly important to regulators and compliance leaders.” 

The Chartis AML Transaction Monitoring Solutions Report 2025 evaluates global providers on criteria including innovation, functionality, and market potential. Category Leaders are recognized for the completeness of their offering and execution strength, representing the top providers helping to shape the future of AML monitoring.
