Hawk AML vs Napier AI Continuum

Hawk AML is an AI- and rules-based platform for financial institutions seeking to detect suspicious activity and reduce unnecessary alerts. Its AML tools combine customer due diligence, watchlist screening, and transaction monitoring. Monitoring covers money-laundering typologies across client, product, and transaction types, and supports ACH, BACS, card, check, P2P, SEPA, SWIFT, and wire channels. Alerts include an auditable rationale to support investigations. Case management spans AML, fraud, and screening, with alert queues, assignment, investigative workflows, and audit trails. Teams can configure rules and test them in a sandbox; APIs support real-time transaction checks and customer AML risk scoring. Hawk lists SaaS, VPC, and on-premises deployment options and says the platform can connect with existing core banking and data management systems. It describes its solutions as intended for financial institutions and regulated entities, including banks, payment firms, and fintechs. Hawk says it complies with data protection regulations including EU GDPR and CCPA, and uses organization-wide technical controls and processes to protect information.
