Our client wished to outsource the Client On-Boarding and AML Operations for its merchant acquiring business in Europe, replacing their current major global outsourcing partner.
Lysis set up the operation including on-boarding and compliance specialists across first and second lines of defence. We also worked with technology partners to establish the operating framework and system support for our client including CLM workflow, AML rules, screening systems and data and a transaction monitoring platform. We ran the operation for five years, on-boarding all European merchants and keeping them under regulatory review, before handing the operation over to our client to run themselves.

A major estate agency had a need to establish a Know Your Customer (KYC) function which was able to scale and undertake a remediation exercise to meet new regulatory requirements (i. e. , 4MLD) and to build out a business as usual (BAU) function to service ongoing requirements.

A newly established digital bank required full regulatory permissions to operate as a licensed bank in the UK and to ensure compliance with EU PSD2 regulations.

Lysis reviewed the exchange’s AML/CTF framework which resulted to a successful maturity assessment review.
