Also, post-integration, a streamlined, efficient, and common KYC policy was required, and this had to be implemented across 40 core locations globally, taking into account local requirements and those of three leading regulators.

This also included the implementation of the global minimum standards and local country uplifts on the global KYC platform. Lysis also coordinated the activities required to achieve the programme’s objectives across Legal, Compliance, Operations and IT and provided the content and thought leadership and the drafting of a number of key documents.
