Global Card Services Operator and Merchant Acquirer

The Challenge

Our client had a requirement to review and update its AML Framework to take account of the Fifth Money Laundering Directive and also some changes in its business model.

The Solution

Lysis conducted a review of the firm's AML Governance and Compliance capabilities and then authored changes to the framework and policy and procedure documents in order to ensure they met the new requirements and were fit for purpose for the evolving business model.  We then worked with the firm to embed the new processes and controls including setting up a new European Risk Committee and defining its membership and terms of reference.
