Hawk, a German fintech specializing in AI-driven anti-money laundering (AML) solutions, has secured $56 million in Series C funding. The round was led by One Peak, a London-based growth equity firm managing $2 billion in assets, with participation from existing investors including BlackFin Capital Partners, Sands Capital, DN Capital, Picus, Coalition, Macquarie, and Rabobank.
Founded in 2018, Hawk provides AI-powered technology designed to enhance the detection of financial crime and reduce false positives in AML and fraud prevention. The company’s platform integrates payment screening, transaction monitoring, and continuous know-your-customer (KYC) processes. Hawk’s solutions are currently used by over 80 clients globally, including Ecobank, Worldline, and Synctera.
The Series C funding will help support continued product development and global expansion, with a particular focus on increasing the company’s presence in the U.S. Hawk operates offices in Munich, London, New York, Riyadh, and Singapore.
This funding follows Hawk’s $17 million Series B round in 2023, which was extended twice in 2024, first with Dutch VC Rabo Investments and then with Australian firm Macquarie Capital.
