Who We Are

Built for Austrian Compliance

ABM Global Compliance was built by compliance professionals who saw growing financial businesses struggling with European regulation. Today our consultants support banks, fintechs, payment firms, and cryptoasset businesses throughout Austria, guided by two commitments.

Our mission is to make regulation in Austria workable for growing financial businesses. We turn FMA licensing processes, FM-GwG obligations, and supervisory expectations into clear, practical steps, so our clients gain their permissions faster, operate confidently, and treat compliance as a foundation for growth rather than a barrier.

Our vision is to be the most trusted compliance partner for financial services in Austria, the firm businesses call first when entering the Austrian market, facing the regulator, or strengthening their frameworks. One partner, consistent quality, and genuine regulatory insight in every market where our clients operate.

What We Do

Crypto Compliance

Banking Compliance

ABM guided our payment institution licence application from start to approval. Their knowledge of regulatory expectations saved us months of preparation and uncertainty.

Markus Weber

The team built our entire AML framework and trained our staff. The regulator's review passed without a single major finding. Genuinely impressive work.

Sofia Lindqvist

Practical, responsive, and honest. They told us early which licensing route made sense for our model and delivered exactly what they promised.

Our MiCA authorisation felt overwhelming until ABM stepped in. They structured the whole application and handled every regulator question with real confidence.

Elena Rossi

We use ABM for ongoing compliance support across three EU markets. One partner, consistent quality, and always ahead of regulatory changes affecting us.

Pieter van den Berg

Their internal audit found gaps our previous advisers missed completely. The remediation plan was clear, prioritised, and realistic for our team size.

Aoife Byrne

Excellent AML training, tailored to our business rather than generic slides. Our board finally understands its compliance responsibilities properly now. Highly recommended.
