Hawk Recognized in Forrester Financial Crime Management Solutions Landscape Report

Hawk, the leading provider of AI-powered anti-financial crime technology, has been recognized in "The Financial Crime Management Solutions Landscape, Q1 2026" published today by Forrester Research, Inc.  
 
The report delivers an overview of 42 vendors in the financial crime management (FCM) market, covering providers of technology for customer screening, payment screening, transaction monitoring for fraudulent activities and money laundering, and investigation and reporting. 

"The Forrester Financial Crime Management Solutions Landscape aligns completely with the Hawk view: unified, AI-driven solutions are nowadays essential for institutions that need to stay ahead of the evolving financial crime landscape," said Tobias Schweiger, CEO of Hawk. “The challenge for many FIs now is in scaling their use of AI for anti-financial crime in a way that is explainable, governable, and cost-effective. That’s where Hawk has the deep AI expertise that banks require.” 

The new Landscape covers the market dynamics that are driving financial institutions to seek out innovative approaches from their system providers. These requirements, which are increasingly being met through machine learning, generative AI and agentic AI, include:

• Value in AML and Fraud Management convergence - FIs are finding benefits in FRAML to better meet business goals with unified strategies, tools, processes and risk-scoring capabilities 
• Regulatory support - AML and, increasingly, fraud management regulations require systemic, repeatable, and well-governed “always-on” controls  
• Cost reduction – fraud losses, data scientist, and investigative labor costs are key metrics in the highly competitive financial services industry. Firms must find ways to minimize these costs  
• Customer experience improvements - customers are sensitive to being subjected to needless friction during transactions with FIs. Tools must work invisibly at the highest degree of accuracy with the lowest false positive rates
