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.
Lysis provided a team of compliance experts to review the AML framework, governance and operating model and to provide a report summarizing the strengths and weaknesses found. The report also included recommendations to fix areas that were considered below par. The board of the firm accepted the report and Lysis was then asked to draft enhanced AML framework documents, policies and procedures.
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).
An international institutional digital assets firm offering stablecoin-based cross-border brokerage services engaged Lysis Advisory to support its UK FCA registration under the Money Laundering Regulations (MLRs). The firm operates a multi-jurisdictional, technology-driven brokerage model providing access to deep cryptoasset liquidity for corporate and professional clients. Lysis was selected due to its strong track record of successful FCA applications and its ability to deliver a tailored regulatory framework aligned with current FCA expectations and adaptable to the upcoming FSMA-style regime.
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.
