A significant UK and US corporate bank
The bank had grown rapidly and an audit in late 2020 raised questions about the quality of the firm’s AML capabilities and customer files.
Lysis worked with the bank’s AML compliance and AML operations team to provide the following services:
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.
Recently implemented the banking system and needed additional BAU resources
A crypto asset business, a subsidiary of a US Nasdaq-listed company requested assistance with the process to obtain FCA registration. Lysis provided the client with a highly experienced MLRO and compliance team who worked with senior management to implement required controls and processes.
