The Client

A major European-domiciled Cryptoasset Exchange with global reach.

The Challenge

The client had a requirement to design a new AML Customer Risk Rating Methodology (RRM) to facilitate the risk assessment of its customers.

The Solution

Lysis conducted a gap analysis to identify all the deficiencies of the current risk rating methodology. A roadmap was subsequently designed which laid out a plan for implementing the suggested enhancements. The process included an in-depth analysis to demonstrate the various cross-jurisdictional compliance requirements, including the identification and weighting of those risk factors specific to their business and industry.  The next step consisted of the testing of a new Customer Risk Rating Methodology on a sample of the client's customers to determine the impact on their Customer AML Risk Rating and thereby ensuring that the results aligned with expectations in terms of the Risk-based Approach. Lastly, Lysis conducted User Acceptance Testing (UAT) of the new AML Customer Risk Rating Methodology.
