AML/CTF & sanctions compliance

Today's Compliance. Tomorrow's Growth with Confidence

AML/CTF & sanctions compliance

We help our clients navigate the complexity of AML/CTF and sanctions obligations with clarity, confidence, and precision.

Our AML/CTF and sanctions compliance services are designed to support regulated entities in the financial, virtual asset, and investment sectors in building and maintaining robust compliance frameworks aligned with evolving regulatory requirements and international best practices.


We provide end-to-end support in the development and enhancement of internal compliance programs — from enterprise-wide AML/CTF and sanctions risk assessments and policy drafting to the design of effective control procedures. Each solution is tailored to the institution’s specific risk profile, size, and business model.


Our expertise covers the full life cycle of compliance implementation, including customer onboarding frameworks, ongoing monitoring, sanctions screening, and regulatory reporting. We also assist with suspicious transaction reporting processes, ensuring they are both effective and defensible.


We actively support clients in preparing for audits and regulatory inspections, as well as in communications with supervisory authorities. As part of our offering, we also perform internal AML/CTF and sanctions audits to help institutions independently assess the effectiveness of their compliance controls and identify areas for improvement. 


In addition, we provide advisory services during licensing processes — helping our clients meet AML/CTF and sanctions compliance expectations from the outset, ensuring readiness for regulatory scrutiny from day one. 


We work closely with clients across banking, electronic money, payments, crypto-assets, and investment services to ensure that their AML/CTF practices meet both regulatory expectations and operational needs.
