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.
A prominent security services firm that forms part of a French multinational investment bank and financial services company asked Lysis to assist with the securities/back-office function within the multinational investment bank.
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.
