A global wholesale and investment bank
The firm was looking for a long-term partner to provide surge resourcing to deal with periodic spikes in the volume of BAU client on-boarding and refresh.
These peaks have been driven by events such as regulatory change, book transfers and the build-up of backlogs with the bank’s in house teams. Lysis has provided experienced on-shore Client Outreach and CLM/AML Analysts, QCs and ComplianceOfficers to cover surges in books of business in the UK and the EU. The team size has flexed as volumes demand, peaking at 20 resources and sometimes as low as one or two. This relationship has been running for 12+ years.

Lysis enabled a major US crypto exchange to achieve UK FCA registration through full regulatory transformation, governance design, and compliance support.

A major global FTSE-100 financial services firm had one month to shape, scope and plan a 60-project programme of work in response to a Section 166 Skilled Persons Report requested by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The firm also had to deliver all 60 projects over a twelve-month period with sub-deliveries due each month.

A major European wholesale and investment bank with global reach was put under a Section 166 order due to regulatory concerns regarding their KYC and AML controls.
