A UK domiciled crypto exchange with global reach.
A regulatory requirement to have expert crypto Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) support.
Lysis provided on-going support to fulfil the role of MLRO and the nominated officer which included being the point of escalation for all financial crime related matters, reviewing and taking ownership of anti-money laundering (AML) and counter financing of terrorism (CFT) policies and procedures. Lysis also managed the annual reporting and enterprise-wide risk assessment and provided on going board-level guidance on day-to-day regulatory matters.
Lysis successfully completed the risk management of AML/CTF matters for a U.K. and ensured Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) temporary registration for a major crypto exchange.
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 major wholesale and investment bank with global reach was placed under a Section 166 order regarding their KYC and AML controls.
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.
