Transaction Monitoring and Suspicious Activity Reporting: Detecting and reporting unusual or suspicious transactions.

Sanctions Compliance: Ensuring compliance with all applicable sanctions regimes.

Risk Assessment: Identifying, assessing, and mitigating the specific AML/CFT risks relevant to your business model and customer base.

Governance and Training: Establishing strong internal controls, policies, and providing ongoing employee training. Failure to meet these obligations can result in severe penalties, including significant fines, reputational damage, regulatory restrictions, and even loss of licenses. Ontrax Risk and Compliance Ltd.
