A global wholesale and investment bank needing client on-boarding and AML Support

Client On-boarding and AML Managed Services
A global wholesale and investment bank
The firm was looking for a long-term partner to provide surge resourcing to deal with periodic spikes in the volume of BAU client on-boarding and refresh.
These peaks have been driven by events such as regulatory change, book transfers and the build-up of backlogs with the bank’s in house teams. Lysis has provided experienced on-shore Client Outreach and CLM/AML Analysts, QCs and ComplianceOfficers to cover surges in books of business in the UK and the EU. The team size has flexed as volumes demand, peaking at 20 resources and sometimes as low as one or two. This relationship has been running for 12+ years.

The merger of two global investment banks required the implementation of a single client onboarding firm structure and alignment of systems and procedure to a single global policy.

Our client was applying for Payment Services permissions from the Central Bank of Ireland and required support in defining and documenting the Governance and Compliance framework.

A crypto asset business, a subsidiary of a US Nasdaq-listed company requested assistance with the process to obtain FCA registration. Lysis provided the client with a highly experienced MLRO and compliance team who worked with senior management to implement required controls and processes. The client was successful in obtaining FCA registration.
