Partnering with HAWK for AML and Fraud Prevention
Introduction
HAWK is an award-winning provider of AI-supported anti-money laundering (AML) and fraud prevention technology. Banks, payment providers, and fintechs across the globe rely on HAWK’s powerful combination of traditional rules and explainable AI to enhance the effectiveness of their AML compliance and fraud detection. The platform helps organisations identify more suspicious activity while significantly improving operational efficiency by reducing false positives.
Scion has partnered with HAWK, having previously worked with them and experienced first-hand the quality of their technology and the strength of their collaborative approach. From our perspective, HAWK operates more like a partner than a vendor, and when we were evaluating potential providers, they were clearly at the top of our list.
Key Benefits of HAWK
Modular Architecture
HAWK offers a modular platform, allowing financial institutions to select and tailor specific capabilities such as transaction monitoring, customer screening, payment screening, and customer risk scoring. This flexibility ensures the solution can be aligned with each organisation’s specific risk profile and regulatory environment.
No-Code Rule Customisation
The platform includes a user-friendly, no-code interface that allows compliance teams to define and fine-tune rules without needing developer support. This enables faster iteration, improved responsiveness to emerging threats, and a reduction in false positives through targeted rule optimisation.
AI and Machine Learning
HAWK applies AI and machine learning to identify patterns, anomalies, and behavioural indicators that may be missed by rule-based systems alone. This significantly enhances both the speed and accuracy of detection, enabling proactive risk management.
Why Work with Scion to Implement HAWK?
At Scion, we don’t simply recommend technology—we deliver it. Having worked closely with the HAWK team on previous projects, we bring practical experience in integrating, configuring, and optimising the platform for real-world compliance environments.
Our direct implementation experience means we understand how to accelerate time-to-value, avoid common integration pitfalls, and tailor the solution to your specific operational and regulatory needs. From calibrating detection thresholds to deploying bespoke rules through HAWK’s intuitive interface, we know how to get the most out of the platform.
Beyond implementation, we can also work alongside your internal team to manage and optimise HAWK on an ongoing basis—ensuring the platform continues to adapt as your business, regulatory obligations, and threat landscape evolve.
Whether you’re upgrading legacy systems or establishing a new compliance function, Scion offers the technical expertise, strategic insight, and collaborative approach needed to ensure a smooth and effective deployment of HAWK.
