Compliance Hub Association

Why it matters

A weak AML programme rarely stops at the fine

For fintech and crypto companies, gaps in compliance turn into business risk quickly: the licence, the banking partners, the growth.

Licensing pressure

Regulators expect a working programme from day one. Gaps can stall your launch for months and drain capital before you process a single transaction.

Audits & supervisory reviews

Findings arrive with tight remediation deadlines, carrying real enforcement risk, legal cost and reputational damage if you miss them.

Banking & partner de-risking

A weak AML posture can cost you banking relationships and market access overnight, freezing settlement and cutting you off from customers.

Inefficient controls

False positives and manual onboarding drown small teams, inflate operating costs and quietly throttle your growth.

Our Services

What we do

A full AML and compliance capability: 13 services in 4 groups. Short version below, the detail on the services page.

Assurance and response+

We test a system that already runs and prepare it for someone else's review. An independent audit shows where the rules and practice diverge, and the risk assessment gives the ground everything else stands on. If the regulator has arrived or a partner bank has asked for documents, we prepare the answers and close the findings by the deadline.

We build what you do not have yet: internal control rules, a customer risk model, transaction monitoring. We assemble the AML document pack for registration and licensing in the AIFC and Kazakhstan. We stay until the system runs in your team's hands.

Digital assets and sanctions need a layer of their own: blockchain analytics, the Travel Rule, self-hosted wallets, sanctions screening and the response procedure. We set them up on top of the core AML framework so that they work with it, not beside it.

We run the compliance function on a retainer when there is no in-house specialist or the team is short-handed; the responsible officer and the signature stay with you. We train staff at three levels, from the core format to management, with testing and a register for the inspector.

How We Work

From the first call to a working programme

Four stages, from the first diagnostic call to a compliance programme your team can run on its own.

01

Discovery & Scoping

We look at what you have today, who supervises you and which task has to be solved.

→
02

Assessment & Design

We work through the controls, find the gap between requirements and practice, and set out a plan of work.

→
03

Build & Implementation

We hand over finished documents, procedures and training, not a report with recommendations.

→
04

Embed & Sustain

Knowledge transfer, ongoing support and tracking of regulatory change.

Our approach

Three things we do differently

Scaling
Solutions the team can run itself

Step-by-step procedures and rules instead of general advice. The system grows with the business rather than being rewritten at every stage.

Product and IT
Control built into the product

We take the architecture of your product into account, so that checks are built into the user journey rather than slowing it down.

Sector specifics
We know how your business works

Payment services, blockchain analytics, crypto licensing requirements: we work with how this is built technically, not from a generic template.
