Hawk Expands Partner Program to Scale AI Crime Compliance

1 reports · First detected 2026-07-25 · Last active 2026-07-25

Banks and financial institutions are moving artificial intelligence into anti-money laundering, screening and fraud prevention as regulators intensify scrutiny of governance, controls and operating models. Hawk’s global partner program brings together advisory firms, cloud providers and financial-crime specialists to help institutions move beyond AI trials and deploy the technology at scale while maintaining explainability, implementation discipline and regulatory compliance.

Hawk announced the program’s expansion on July 1, 2026, launching a dedicated Partner Portal and a training and certification pathway. A July 24 report said the framework covers customer engagement, joint go-to-market work, thought leadership, solution development and implementation. Partners will gain centralized access to technical documentation, AI-adoption guidance, case studies, marketing materials and support. Hawk disclosed neither an investment amount nor the number of partners expected to join.

The Backstory

The history behind this event
Hawk Names Eli Chamoun President and Chief Revenue Officer2026-07-23 · 1 reports · similarity 0.83

Hawk, founded in Munich in 2018, provides AI-powered anti-money laundering, screening and fraud-prevention technology to banks and payment companies. The appointment comes as financial institutions step up their use of machine learning, generative AI and agentic AI to improve crime detection and investigations. The strategic challenge is moving those tools into governed, explainable deployments that can reduce false alerts while satisfying regulators, making commercial leadership increasingly important in the expanding financial-crime technology market.

Hawk appointed Eli Chamoun as president and chief revenue officer on July 22, 2026, putting him in charge of global revenue strategy and operations, partner relationships and the expansion of its go-to-market team. Chamoun brings more than 20 years of financial-crime and compliance experience, including 18 years at NICE Actimize. He served as global vice president and global head of sales there, overseeing a portfolio worth several hundred million dollars, as Hawk seeks to accelerate adoption among banks and payment providers worldwide.
