Flagright, the AI operating system for financial crime compliance, today announced that Payhawk has selected Flagright to extend fraud prevention and AML compliance across its global spend management platform.
Payhawk brings corporate cards, expenses, business travel, accounts payable, procurement, global payments, and enterprise controls into one finance platform. As activity moves across cards, accounts, suppliers, entities, currencies, and markets, fraud and AML teams need a consistent way to identify suspicious behaviour, screen relevant parties, and respond without slowing legitimate corporate spend.
“Fraud and AML risk increasingly intersect across cards, accounts, suppliers, and payments,” said Thibaud Catry, Group Chief Compliance Officer at Payhawk. “In most finance stacks those controls sit in separate systems. With Flagright, we now monitor every payment type against the same logic, across every market we operate in, as Payhawk continues to scale.”
What the deployment covers
- Monitor approved card, account, and payment activity in real time with configurable controls
- Screen customers and relevant counterparties against sanctions, PEP, and other applicable watchlists
- Adapt monitoring logic across entities, products, markets, and transaction patterns
- Support consistent review and escalation across fraud and AML operations
- Maintain clear evidence and audit ready decision trails
“Payhawk has built an enterprise operating layer for global corporate spend,” said Baran Özkan, Co founder and CEO of Flagright. “Protecting that environment requires fraud prevention and AML compliance to work from connected signals and controls, rather than separate systems. Flagright gives Payhawk a real time, configurable financial crime compliance layer that can evolve across cards, accounts, suppliers, entities, and payment activity.”
