Retailers are Leaking Margin.

Hidden fees, poor approval rates, weak vendor terms, and FX friction all add up. In retail, small inefficiencies scale fast — and most merchants don’t see where the money goes.

Bankhawk combines deep retail expertise with AI-powered analytics to uncover and fix the drivers of lost margin across banking and payments. We deliver clear, data-backed recommendations quickly, often with minimal effort from your team — and our clients typically unlock millions in hidden value.
