Our client had acquired a business from a competitor and had c.50-60 Payment Programme Managers and their programmes to on-board. They asked Lysis to supply a team of experts to do this work.
Lysis provided a compliance officer and a team of senior AML Analysts to review and on-board the Programme Managers. This involved Enhanced Due Dilgence on the Programme Managers and full review of the AML framework, governance and operating models of the Programme Managers to ensure that their programme customers could be on-boarded without putting our client at risk of breaching AML rules.
The client is incorporated in Ireland as an Irish Collective Asset-management Vehicle (ICAV). The client is an American investment fund which specialises in lending large amounts of money to various entities ranging from listed entities to unregulated entities based in the USA.
A large operator of bank infrastructure wanted to develop a shared operating model and managed service for client lifecycle management (CLM), anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC).
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).
