AML Utility/Shared-Service Strategy
Large operator of bank infrastructure wishing to develop a shared operating model and managed service for client lifecycle management (CLM), anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC).
Over a three-month period, Lysis deployed a team of senior consultants and CLM/AML/KYC experts to produce a comprehensive strategy for the client across three main workstreams namely business and finance, operations and technology and data. The strategy considered of the following:
- The market opportunity and competitive landscape with the inclusion of client feedback.
- Lessons learned from previous KYC utility builds.
- Regulatory viewpoint which was developed via regulator-interviews and compilation of written regulator opinions.
- Business case.
- The technology landscape and potential vendor partnerships.
- A data model, including data sharing considerations.
- Policy and process standardisation opportunities.
Lysis successfully delivered a comprehensive and executable strategy for a full end-to-end AML managed service which included:
- A comprehensive business plan including a fully working financial model.
- A complete target operating model, including processes, locations, and a people strategy.
- A technology and data strategy and building plan.
- An operational risk framework and model.
- A detailed SWOT analysis.
- A go-to-market plan.
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.
One of our client's banks has flagged areas of our client's Ant-Money Laundering (AML) Governance and Compliance operation as a potential cause for concern. Our client asked Lysis to perform an independent review for them to establish if anything was genuinely wrong.
One of the largest US-based Tech commercial banks needed to build out their offshore capabilities in support of their London operation. This included candidate selection, AML/KYC training, coaching on early cases and then QA of their work. This produced a team of fully trained KYC analysts and a newly established offshore capability.
