Outsourced compliance for payment companies
Regulators expect payment and crypto firms to run a real compliance function from day one, yet few start-ups can hire a full team. Compliance outsourcing fills the gap: specialists who act as or support your MLRO, write policies and keep the programme running. This subsection lists such providers.
Typical services
- MLRO outsourcing or support for an in-house MLRO, where the regulator allows it.
- AML policy for PSPs, EMIs, exchangers and VASPs: business-wide risk assessment, customer risk scoring, EDD procedures.
- Transaction monitoring scenarios and alert handling procedures.
- Sanctions and PEP screening procedures; Travel Rule for crypto.
- Independent AML audits and gap analyses before inspections or licence applications.
- Regulatory reporting, training of staff, board reporting.
- PCI DSS readiness for card businesses.
When you need it
- Preparing a payment licence or VASP application.
- Onboarding with a bank, EMI or acquirer that asks for your AML framework.
- After a regulator's inspection or a partner's audit findings.
- When volumes grow faster than your internal team.
How to choose a provider
- Experience with your regulator and your business model (acquiring, P2P, crypto, gaming).
- Who exactly will do the work and their qualifications.
- Scope: documents only, or ongoing operation and alert reviews.
- Pricing: monthly retainer, per document, per audit.
- Tooling: whether they work with your KYC and AML/KYT vendors.
