Expertise and technology

A consultancy with a technology advantage.

KYCifi pairs senior financial crime practitioners with an intelligence platform built in-house. The expertise leads; the technology makes the expertise go further.

The expertise

Practitioners, not generalists.

Our team has spent senior roles at firms including KPMG, Deloitte and Bank of New York, running the reviews, investigations and remediation that regulators expect. Every engagement is led by someone who has sat on the other side of the review.

The technology

LÆdar AI does the legwork.

LÆdar AI is the platform our practitioners built to automate the research, screening and record-keeping behind every engagement, so specialists spend their time on judgement and clients get answers faster, to a defensible standard.

What we do

Specialist services, across the financial crime lifecycle.

From onboarding to enhanced due diligence and regulatory readiness, each service is delivered by specialists and enhanced by LÆdar AI.

01

AML Compliance

End-to-end anti-money laundering programmes, from business-wide risk assessment to controls, policies and ongoing monitoring.

Why it matters

A well-run, risk-based AML programme is the foundation of regulatory readiness, operational resilience and sustainable growth.

Who it's for

Banks, crypto firms, fintechs, payment providers, EMIs and MSBs operating under applicable AML regulations.

How KYCifi helps

Our practitioners design and remediate AML frameworks to the standard supervisors expect, built from real casework.

How LÆdar AI enhances it

LÆdar AI runs the screening, monitoring and record-keeping that keep the programme live and evidenced.

02

Customer Due Diligence (CDD)

Identifying and verifying customers and understanding the relationship, at onboarding and through its life.

Why it matters

CDD is the foundation of AML. Weak or inconsistent CDD is the most common supervisory finding.

Who it's for

Any regulated firm onboarding individuals or corporate entities.

How KYCifi helps

We build proportionate CDD workflows and review files for quality, consistency and defensibility.

How LÆdar AI enhances it

LÆdar AI retrieves registry data, verifies entities and assembles a structured, reviewable file.

03

Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD)

Deeper investigation for higher-risk relationships: PEPs, complex ownership and high-risk jurisdictions.

Why it matters

High-risk relationships demand evidence a regulator will accept, not box-ticking.

Who it's for

Firms onboarding PEPs, high-net-worth clients, complex corporates or higher-risk geographies.

How KYCifi helps

Senior practitioners produce EDD that withstands scrutiny, with source of wealth and rationale documented.

How LÆdar AI enhances it

LÆdar AI traces ownership, screens connected parties and compiles the evidence pack.

04

Sanctions Screening

Screening customers and counterparties against global sanctions regimes, continuously.

Why it matters

Sanctions compliance carries strict liability and demands continuous, accurate coverage, with no room for error.

Who it's for

Every regulated firm, and especially those with cross-border exposure.

How KYCifi helps

We calibrate screening for coverage versus noise and adjudicate alerts with expert judgement.

How LÆdar AI enhances it

LÆdar AI screens across 40+ lists in real time with explainable match scoring.

05

PEP Screening

Identifying politically exposed persons and close associates, and calibrating the right level of scrutiny.

Why it matters

PEP relationships are inherently higher risk and require ongoing, evidenced management.

Who it's for

Banks, payment providers, fintechs and any firm with international clients.

How KYCifi helps

We confirm status, assess risk and define proportionate controls, not blanket de-risking.

How LÆdar AI enhances it

LÆdar AI surfaces PEP and relative or close associate matches with supporting evidence.

06

Adverse Media Reviews

Structured research into negative news and reputational risk across global sources.

Why it matters

Adverse media often surfaces risk long before it reaches official lists.

Who it's for

Firms conducting onboarding, periodic review or investigations.

How KYCifi helps

Analysts separate genuine risk from noise and document a clear discounting rationale.

How LÆdar AI enhances it

LÆdar AI scans global media and clusters the relevant findings for analyst review.

07

Ownership Mapping

Mapping corporate structures and resolving ultimate beneficial owners through every layer.

Why it matters

You cannot assess risk you cannot see. Hidden ownership is where risk hides.

Who it's for

Banks, law firms and corporates onboarding complex or cross-border entities.

How KYCifi helps

We untangle complex structures and reconcile them against the PSC register.

How LÆdar AI enhances it

LÆdar AI traces ownership recursively and flags PSC discrepancies automatically.

08

Source of Funds Support

Evidencing the origin of funds and wealth to the standard banks and regulators require.

Why it matters

Clear, evidenced source of funds narratives keep transactions and onboarding moving and build reviewer confidence.

Who it's for

Businesses and individuals facing bank reviews, large transactions or EDD.

How KYCifi helps

We prepare clear, evidenced source of funds and source of wealth narratives that satisfy reviewers.

How LÆdar AI enhances it

LÆdar AI organises documents and corporate evidence into one coherent pack.

09

Regulatory Readiness

Preparing firms for supervision, audits and registration with audit-ready files and frameworks.

Why it matters

Regulators expect evidence on demand. Readiness is the difference between a confident review and an avoidable scramble.

Who it's for

Firms facing regulatory supervision, authorisation, or PVARA NOC requirements.

How KYCifi helps

We assess gaps, remediate and assemble supervisor-grade documentation, drawing on Big Four experience.

How LÆdar AI enhances it

LÆdar AI maintains the audit trail and produces defensible records on demand.

07Analyst Commentary

Ownership resolves cleanly to two natural persons; the nominee layer is consistent with legitimate tax planning rather than concealment. Adverse-media screening returned matches, none confirmed. The jurisdiction exposure is mitigated by documented source of funds. No sanctions or PEP hits on primary parties.

08Recommended Actions
  • Obtain certified ID for beneficial owner to complete the file.
  • Refresh source-of-funds evidence for the layer at next review.
  • Apply enhanced monitoring for 6 months given jurisdiction exposure.
  • Schedule periodic review at 12 months, or on material change.
