A US corporate bank in the UK
The firm’s business was growing rapidly and they needed additional medium-term resource in the BAU On-boarding team.
Lysis provided a number of experiencedon-shore Client Outreach and CLM/AML analysts to supplement the BAU team. This has enabled the bank to meet itsregulatory obligations and business growth targets.
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).
A crypto asset custodian based in the U.K. with global reach approached Lysis with the request to assist them with the process to obtain registration from the FCA which would enable them to operate in the UK market as a crypto asset business. Due to the holding company’s strong global footprint, part of the FCA requirements for registration included the need for a UK based money laundering reporting officer (MLRO).
A successful regulatory turnaround for a UK EMI and crypto firm, restoring FCA permissions and avoiding administration under new leadership.
