Our take

Hummingbird is an anti-money laundering (AML) platform designed to make it easier for financial companies to identify, track, and report suspicious activity. Up to $2 trillion is laundered every year across the world, and less than 1% of this laundering is caught by compliance teams; Hummingbird is hoping that its software can change this.

The company is led by co-founders with backgrounds in risk, data science, software engineering, and digital payments, so it's not hard to see where their expertise comes from. Not satisfied with the results that firms achieve using spreadsheets and other traditional tools, Hummingbird offers an automated solution to compliance and AML.

What makes Hummingbird stand out from competitors such as Lucinity is its simplicity and ease of use: it's the only AML platform that allows customers to get started without setting up initial integrations. One of Hummingbird's biggest challenges will be ensuring its software can keep on top of emerging money-laundering technologies designed to get around platforms just like this one.
