CLM Process Efficiency
Lysis successfully compiled road maps and designed effective, bespoke processes in three main areas:
1 - improving the customer on-boarding experience,
2 - enhancing on-going transaction monitoring and
3 - streamlining the off-boarding process.
The on-boarding experience included creating/uplifting the following elements: a pre-on-boarding assessment, a KYC questionnaire, an Ultimate Beneficial Owner check, screening, defining a Quality Assurance process, and finally, creating an escalation process. All these elements were linked with a robust AML/CTF framework. The on-going transaction monitoring process was refined by reviewing rules that drive the amount of hits, as well as the process for KYC refresh. Finally, the off-boarding process was streamlined which reduced touch points and resulted in a more efficient and standardised process.
A significant reduction in on-boarding time with less friction points, improved overall customer on-boarding experience, and an efficient and standardised end-to-end CLM process.
Although the client is based in the US, they have European subsidiaries which include the UK and therefore required Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) registration. In order to obtain registration as a crypto asset firm in the U.K. they had to comply with specific FCA requirements.
A major Egyptian bank with UK operations had a requirement to identify possible AML and CTF gaps and suggested improvements.
Our client was setting up a new gaming licensing and taxation authority for a national government and sought external support to develop its Compliance and AML Framework.
