Corporate, Wholesale and Investment Banking
KYC Remediation
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:
A UK branch of a prominent Middle Eastern bank operating in the wholesale and correspondent banking space. The bank is subject to UK regulatory oversight and provides services to a range of international clients.
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 listed UK-Based subprime lender offering lower value short term loans needed to enhance, redesign, and implement a new FC framework. Lysis provided the client with a understanding of risks, practical advice on risk mitigation, & robust policies.
