SERVICES
Our primary focus is on serving clients from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and Central Asia in their international banking, finance, and transactional matters. We assist businesses in bridging any communication gaps with international financial institutions, investors, insurance companies, and regulators.
With the goal of keeping clients on track to reach their financial objectives, we strive to ensure that they are fully compliant with the constantly evolving Know-Your-Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulatory environment across multiple jurisdictions.
ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING
We are fully equipped to assist subjects of financial AML regulations in establishing, evaluating and enhancing their compliance frameworks and internal control systems. We work to ensure that organizational AML compliance is set up in line not only with local laws and regulations but in consistency with globally applicable financial crime requirements, including:
U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) Guidance
5th EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive
Financial Actions Task Force (FATF)
Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) Regulations
