We offer practical, no-nonsense AML compliance for high-risk businesses, providing real-world support for crypto exchanges, money remitters, derivatives issuers, high-risk payments companies, online trading platforms, gambling operators, high-value dealers, and other high-risk industries. Our work focuses on operational AML, corporate KYC solutions, enterprise AML risk management, corporate sanctions compliance, and high-risk client due diligence - not generic templates or theoretical models

Our approach to AML compliance for high-risk businesses is based on extensive experience supporting high-risk corporates across multiple jurisdictions

We offer a comprehensive set of AML/CFT compliance solutions for high-risk industries, from building specialised corporate AML frameworks, to helping you with complex AML, like enhanced due diligence for high-risk clients, source of funds verification, source of wealth verification, corporate transaction monitoring, financial crime risk mitigation and AML/CFT control design tailored to the specific operating circumstances of your business

Your business goals

Your AML/CFT Regulated Products and Services

Your business size

Available AML/CTF Compliance Technology and Resourcing

Your ML/TF Risk Appetite

Your Client Demographics

Your Regulatory History

Your Operational Structure

Your countries of operation

What your regulators will and will not accept, which enhanced due diligence for high-risk clients you actually need to apply and how to execute them, how to maintain your banking relationships without triggering de-risking requests, and how to operate in a way that is compliant but still commercially workable.

Related Compliance Obligations

A high risk rating rarely stays inside AML/CFT, but it usually triggers more scrutiny across your other regulatory obligations

That means tighter expectations around licensing conditions, sanctions controls, fraud-related requirements, privacy rules, fair-trading obligations, governance settings, and more

Our work here is simple: we reduce the noise, cut out the unnecessary work, and focus on what matters, making money, while staying compliant

AML/CFT Compliance Assurance Obligations

AML for high-risk industries comes down to one thing: proving that your controls actually work when regulators or banking partners look at them

This is where we help - with years of experience walking the fine line between what regulators expect, what banks will tolerate, and what your business can realistically operate with

How We Are Different

We have been successfully doing AML for High-Risk Industries for years

Corporate AML Frameworks for High-Risk Industries That Actually Work in Practice

Customisation at every level - from how your key AML documents are structured to how each control and procedure is set up is essential when you are facing a high probability of money laundering and other types of financial crime, and when you are under constant scrutiny from your banking partners, law-enforcement agencies, and supervisors

We customise and implement AML frameworks that survive pressure tests - from bank reviews to regulator escalations

Apart from the key documentation like AML/CFT Risk Asssemsnet and Program our services in this area also cover:

We know how AML supervisors operate

Because we’ve dealt with an actual AUSTRAC, DIA, FMA, FCA, MAS, FINTRAC, and U.S. regulators for years - across extensive audits, addressing findings, completing remediation, independent reviews, board escalations, and regulatory licensing

We take ownership of regulator interactions, bank queries, audits, reviewers, and external advisers so your team doesn’t get stuck in loops

We keep executives out of the noise

We build what actually works

Lean processes. Clear escalation paths. Practical due diligence

Real-world monitoring Controls mapped to actual ML/TF risks - not theory

We Know How to Scale Enhanced Due Diligence for High-Risk Clients

Enhanced due diligence is one of the core AML requirements for high-risk industries. Getting it right is the difference between being able to operate commercially and being stopped from growing

This is where our work sits: we design and implement EDD processes that actually fit your business model, your risk exposure, your customer profiles, and the jurisdictions you operate in - while staying aligned with real-world scrutiny
