A new to market crypto asset business domiciled in Ireland.
A regulatory requirement from the Central Bank of Ireland to design and embed a financial crime, AML/CTF, governance framework.
Lysis worked closely with the client to design an AML/CTF framework which would enable registration with the Central Bank of Ireland as a crypto asset business which included the drafting of a crypto related financial crime risk appetite statement, bespoke AML/CTF policies and procedures, the design of a financial crime risk committee terms of reference and the documentation of the Money Laundering reporting Officer (MLRO) roles and responsibilities for crypto asset risk management.
Lysis successfully designed a financial crime governance framework that will enable the client to register successfully with the Central Bank of Ireland as a schedule two regulated crypto asset firm.
A U.K. based broker dealer required assistance with the management of their Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) issued Section 166 remediation notice.
An international payment company with offices in major European hubs outsourced KYC service provision was unsatisfactory. A significantly enhanced and more effective capability was developed by Lysis.
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).
