# About us

## To solve a crime, it’s best to follow the money.

Our mission is simple: fight financial crime.

We do that by providing financial institutions with everything they need to keep themselves – and the industry – safe.

## The world’s worst crimes are driven by money.

Money fuels some of the world’s worst criminal enterprises. Drug cartels, organized crime, weapons sales, political corruption, and human trafficking – all of these rely on illicitly moving money through our financial system. There’s no better way to fight these criminals than to follow the money and choke off the profits.

### $1.6-$2T

Money laundered globally every year

### <1%

Money laundering that is caught

### $321B

Fines since 2008 for regulatory failings.

## How we fight back.

### Efficiency

We streamline the complex task of organizing case information, speeding up investigations and giving analysts space to focus on high-value activity.

### Intelligence

Hummingbird is a leader in AI-powered compliance tools. We provide our customers with compliance-grade AI tools that are safe, auditable, and deliver real value.

### Collaboration

We designed Hummingbird to help you quickly and easily connect your data sources and bring your tools together. Instead of locking you into a single system, we give you the ability to add, remove, and change your tech stack whenever you need to.

#### Founded by technologists and former regulators who experienced firsthand how outdated compliance tools hindered progress, Hummingbird is focused on building a platform capable of modernizing the fight against financial crime.
