Target Operating Model
The two major global investment banks had their own set of systems, procedures and clients that needed integrating into the single bank whilst continuing to on-board their new clients. The requirement included the implementation of a single client on-boarding firm structure and alignment of systems and procedures to a single global policy.
Lysis provided experienced regulatory compliance and operational change consultants to design a suitable single solution to meet the business needs of the merged bank. A Target Operating Model which incorporated a strategic systems architecture was developed. Also, a System Integration Plan was developed to leverage the "best of breed" technology and working practices was produced. Lysis then successfully managed the execution of the programme over a 28-month period.
Our client had a large backlog of increasingly old transaction alerts that potential indicated suspicious activity and required reporting.
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 major credit card company and regulated PSP with global reach approached Lysis to uplift their transaction monitoring framework and operational controls.
