Governance & Compliance Framework/ Section 166/ SMCR
A UK domiciled crypto exchange with global reach.
A regulatory requirement to have expert crypto Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) support.
Lysis provided on-going support to fulfil the role of MLRO and the nominated officer which included being the point of escalation for all financial crime related matters, reviewing and taking ownership of anti-money laundering (AML) and counter financing of terrorism (CFT) policies and procedures. Lysis also managed the annual reporting and enterprise-wide risk assessment and provided on going board-level guidance on day-to-day regulatory matters.
Lysis successfully completed the risk management of AML/CTF matters for a U.K. and ensured Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) temporary registration for a major crypto exchange.
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 major global bank needing a data clean-up post banking system implementation
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).
