Key Questions
How to assess risk?
Start with a comprehensive risk-based approach: identify customer types, geographies, services, and transaction patterns. Then evaluate their money laundering and terrorist financing risks. I can help you build a tailored risk assessment matrix aligned with EU and FATF guidelines.
What about KYC?
Know Your Customer (KYC) is your first line of defense. You need a reliable process for customer identification, verification, and ongoing due diligence. I assist in setting up effective KYC workflows, selecting suitable providers, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Need a VASP license?
If you're operating a crypto exchange or wallet service in Estonia (or the EU), a VASP registration is mandatory. I’ll guide you through the step-by-step licensing process, from documentation to communication with regulators — ensuring a smooth and compliant launch.
What tools to use?
From ID verification solutions (like Sumsub or Veriff) to transaction monitoring platforms (like Chainalysis, Crystal, or ComplyAdvantage), I help you choose and implement the right tech stack based on your risk level, budget, and regulatory needs.
Want AML training?
Whether you’re onboarding a new AML officer or training your internal team, I can provide custom training materials, policy walkthroughs, and real-case exercises — ensuring your staff is confident and audit-ready.
