Global Card Services Operator and Merchant Acquirer
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.
Lysis designed and implemented a compliance monitoring framework for a UK-regulated EMI. The aim of the framework was to ensure ongoing compliance with the Electronic Money Regulations 2011 (EMRs), including with the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 (MLRs).
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.
A U.K. Branch of a major Asian bank needed an in-depth review and enhancement of their AML governance framework. Lysis conducted a success review and drafted all required policies & procedures, and established a KYC Target Operating model.
