AML Compliance

AML compliance is the set of policies, procedures, and controls a regulated business uses to detect and prevent money laundering and terrorist financing. Bergers Legal builds and reviews AML/KYC programs for MSBs, crypto companies and VASPs, EMIs, and payment and forex businesses — from the initial risk assessment through policies, onboarding controls, and ongoing monitoring.

What an AML/KYC compliance program includes

A compliance program is built around your specific business model, customers, and risks rather than a generic template. It usually combines written policies with day-to-day operational controls.

  • A documented, risk-based AML/CFT policy and procedures
  • A business-wide risk assessment (customers, products, geographies, channels)
  • Customer due diligence (KYC/CDD) and enhanced due diligence for higher-risk relationships
  • Sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media screening
  • Ongoing transaction monitoring and suspicious-activity reporting
  • Recordkeeping, staff training, and an appointed compliance officer
  • Independent review and periodic updates to the program

Who needs an AML compliance program

AML obligations apply to businesses in regulated or higher-risk financial sectors. Requirements vary by jurisdiction and activity, so the exact obligations should be confirmed for your setup.

  • Money services businesses (MSBs) and money transfer operators
  • Crypto and virtual-asset service providers (VASPs)
  • Electronic money institutions (EMIs) and payment service providers
  • Forex and other financial brokerages
  • Other businesses subject to AML/CFT regulation in their jurisdiction

How Bergers Legal helps

We tailor each program to the regulator, the business model, and the real mechanics of your operations.

  • Gap analysis of existing policies and controls
  • Drafting AML/KYC policies, risk assessments, and procedures
  • Support appointing and equipping a compliance officer
  • Preparing the documentation banks and regulators expect to see
  • Ongoing advisory as rules, products, or markets change

What to expect

Most of the work can be handled remotely. We start by understanding your services, customers, and target markets, then prepare documentation that reflects how your business actually operates — not a template.

Frequently asked questions

What is an AML/KYC compliance program?+

It is the set of written policies and operational controls a regulated business uses to detect and prevent money laundering and terrorist financing — covering risk assessment, customer due diligence, screening, transaction monitoring, reporting, recordkeeping, and training.

Who is required to have an AML compliance program?+

Businesses in regulated or higher-risk financial sectors — such as MSBs, crypto/VASPs, EMIs, payment firms, and forex brokerages. The exact obligations depend on your jurisdiction and activities and should be confirmed for your setup.

Can I use a template AML policy?+

A template is rarely sufficient. The documentation should reflect your specific services, customers, countries, risks, channels, team roles, and monitoring procedures.

What does an AML risk assessment cover?+

It reviews the money-laundering and terrorist-financing risks across your customers, products and services, geographies, and delivery channels, then sets controls that match those risks.

Do you guarantee regulatory approval or banking?+

No. Outcomes depend on the facts of the project, regulator requirements, and the policies of banks and other third parties. We help prepare strong documentation and reduce the risk of obvious mistakes, but do not promise an external result.
