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 careers inside KPMG, Deloitte and Bank of New York Mellon, 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 does the legwork.

LÆdar 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.

01

AML Compliance

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

Why it matters

Regulated firms must run an effective, risk-based AML programme, or face enforcement, fines and reputational harm.

Who it's for

Banks, fintechs, EMIs, law firms, accountants and VASPs supervised under the MLRs and the FCA.

How KYCifi helps

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

How LÆdar enhances it

LÆdar 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 enhances it

LÆdar 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 enhances it

LÆdar 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 breaches carry strict liability and severe penalties, 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 enhances it

LÆdar 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

Wealth managers, banks, law firms and any firm with international clients.

How KYCifi helps

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

How LÆdar enhances it

LÆdar 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 enhances it

LÆdar 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 enhances it

LÆdar 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

Source of funds requests stall transactions, freeze accounts and delay onboarding.

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 enhances it

LÆdar 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 clean review and an enforcement action.

Who it's for

Firms facing FCA 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 enhances it

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

How we work

Senior-led, fixed-fee, audit-ready.

Every engagement begins with a conversation and ends with documentation a regulator would accept.

01

Free consultation

A direct conversation with a practitioner to understand your situation and scope the work. No cost, no obligation.

02

Fixed-fee proposal

A clear, fixed price agreed in writing before any work begins. No hourly billing, no surprises.

03

Audit-ready delivery

Work delivered by senior specialists and documented to the standard supervisors expect, with LÆdar behind the scenes.
