Overview

A working AML programme, not a folder of policies

An effective AML/CFT programme connects your business-wide risk assessment to real controls: who you onboard, how you screen them, what you monitor, how you investigate and what you report. When those pieces are designed separately, gaps appear exactly where regulators and banking partners look first.

Hilix builds the programme as one system. We align your risk appetite, customer risk scoring, due diligence standards, monitoring scenarios, escalation paths and record keeping, then operate the parts you want us to run. The result is a programme you can explain, evidence and improve.

How we work

How we take over or build your compliance function

Design

We agree scope, service levels, escalation rules and the decisions that stay with your MLRO, then document them.

Operate

Our analysts work inside your tools, clear queues to agreed SLAs and record every decision with evidence.

Report and improve

Weekly and monthly MI, quality checks and trend analysis feed continuous improvement and board reporting.

FAQ

AML/CFT Compliance Outsourcing: common questions

Is this suitable for a pre-launch fintech?

Yes. We often build the AML programme before launch so it can support licence applications, banking partner onboarding and payout partner due diligence.

Can you work with our existing MLRO?

Absolutely. We usually support an appointed MLRO by running the operational work and preparing the analysis they need to make decisions.

Do you provide the compliance software?

We are tool-agnostic. We work in your existing KYC, screening and monitoring platforms and can help you select and configure new ones.
