Our client had been advised that their AML provisions were not up to the required standard and wished to remedy this before regulatory sanctions were imposed.
Lysis provided a team of compliance experts to review the AML framework, governance and operating model and to provide a report summarizing the strengths and weaknesses found. The report also included recommendations to fix areas that were considered below par. The board of the firm accepted the report and Lysis was then asked to draft enhanced AML framework documents, policies and procedures.
A crypto asset custodian based in the U.K. with global reach approached Lysis with the request to assist them with the process to obtain registration from the FCA which would enable them to operate in the UK market as a crypto asset business. Due to the holding company’s strong global footprint, part of the FCA requirements for registration included the need for a UK based money laundering reporting officer (MLRO).
An international institutional digital assets firm offering stablecoin-based cross-border brokerage services engaged Lysis Advisory to support its UK FCA registration under the Money Laundering Regulations (MLRs). The firm operates a multi-jurisdictional, technology-driven brokerage model providing access to deep cryptoasset liquidity for corporate and professional clients. Lysis was selected due to its strong track record of successful FCA applications and its ability to deliver a tailored regulatory framework aligned with current FCA expectations and adaptable to the upcoming FSMA-style regime.
Our client was applying for Payment Services permissions from the Central Bank of Ireland and required support in defining and documenting the Governance and Compliance framework.
