The Client

A large global broker with inter-dealer broking, corporateand retail broking brands, several of which had been acquired over the years.

The Challenge

With multiple brands operating across different jurisdictions, the client faced challenges in managing customer data and ensuring consistent AML compliance. Customer records were spread across disparate systems, leading to data duplication, incomplete records and inefficiencies in risk management. To address these challenges, the client sought to integrate customer data into a single system, managed by a central centre-of-excellence team, while ensuring compliance with evolving AML regulations.

The Solution

Lysis deployed a combination of semi-automated tools and expert-led analysis to consolidate customer records from multiple databases. These tools:

• Identified and linked common customers across different brands.

• Flagged incomplete or outdated records requiring remediation based on specific risk-based criteria.

• Ensured customer records met regulatory compliance standards before integration into the firm’s Reuters GoldTier system.

Lysis analysts then conducted a rigorous data remediation process, ensuring that customer records were complete, accurate and aligned with AML compliance requirements. This structured approach established a single source of truth for customer data, strengthening risk governance, regulatory reporting and operational efficiency.

Results

• Enhanced AML Compliance: Customer records were fully compliant with regulatory standards, reducing the risk of AML breaches and enforcement actions.

• Operational Efficiency: The transition to a centralised, clean customer database eliminated redundancies and improved onboarding, transaction monitoring and reporting processes.

• Improved Risk Management: With a golden source of customer data, the client gained better visibility into customer risk profiles, enhancing KYC/CDD processes and overall governance.

• Scalability for Growth: The centralised system provided a robust foundation for future acquisitions and regulatory changes, ensuring long-term compliance and efficiency.
