AML/CFT, KYC, Sanctions & Travel Rule Compliance Advisory
At ABM Global Compliance, we provide financial crime compliance advisory services to help cryptoasset businesses assess their exposure and strengthen their AML/CFT, KYC/CDD, sanctions and Travel Rule compliance frameworks. ABM helps cryptoasset businesses in Cyprus strengthen the policies, governance and compliance frameworks needed to understand financial crime risk and maintain a more resilient approach to regulatory compliance.
Strengthening Financial Crime Compliance Across Cryptoasset Activities
Cryptoasset businesses can face distinctive financial crime risks arising from customer relationships, digital transactions, cross-border activity, counterparties and the movement of cryptoassets across jurisdictions. At ABM Global Compliance, we provide financial crime compliance advisory services to help cryptoasset businesses assess their exposure and strengthen their AML/CFT, KYC/CDD, sanctions and Travel Rule compliance frameworks.
Firms operating in Cyprus must consider applicable Cyprus and EU financial crime requirements alongside the regulatory obligations arising from their specific cryptoasset activities. Effective compliance requires a risk-based framework supported by clear policies, appropriate governance and well-defined responsibilities. Firms therefore need frameworks that are both risk-based and capable of adapting to emerging regulatory expectations.

Your Questions Answered
What does the Prevention and Suppression of Money Laundering Law require?
Risk-based AML/CFT arrangements: a business-wide risk assessment, customer due diligence scaled to risk, ongoing monitoring, suspicious activity reporting, sanctions screening, training, and governance ownership.
How should customer due diligence work?
Risk-based from the start: verify identity, understand ownership and purpose, apply enhanced measures where risk is higher, and keep information current through ongoing monitoring.
What about sanctions compliance?
EU sanctions apply directly and carry strict liability in practice. Firms need effective screening, clear escalation procedures, and awareness that exposure hides in ownership structures.
How is transaction monitoring supervised?
Supervisors test calibration and outcomes: whether scenarios reflect your actual risks, whether alerts are investigated on time, and whether the system evolves with the business.
Can you review our financial crime framework?
Yes. We conduct independent AML/CFT reviews covering governance, risk assessment, due diligence, monitoring, and reporting, with practical findings your team can implement.
