Expertise and technology

A consultancy with a technology advantage.

The expertise leads. The technology makes the expertise go further.

The expertise

Practitioners, not generalists.

Our team has held senior roles at firms including KPMG, Deloitte and BNY, 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

Technology does the legwork.

LÆdar, the engine we built in-house, automates the research, screening and record-keeping behind every engagement, so specialists spend their time on judgement and you get answers faster, to a defensible standard.

About LÆdar
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 backed by our own technology.

Service

AML compliance

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

Learn more
Why it matters

A well-run, risk-based AML programme is the foundation of regulatory readiness, operational resilience and sustainable growth.

Who it is for

Banks, crypto firms, fintechs, payment providers, EMIs and MSBs operating under AML regulations.

How KYCifi helps

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

How our technology helps

Every recommendation is evidenced with the research behind it, so your programme stands up to review.

Service

Customer due diligence

Identifying and verifying customers and understanding the relationship, at onboarding and through its life.

Learn more
Why it matters

CDD is the foundation of AML. Weak or inconsistent CDD is the most common supervisory finding.

Who it is 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 our technology helps

Registry data is retrieved and organised into a structured, reviewable file.

Service

Enhanced due diligence

Deeper investigation for higher-risk relationships: PEPs, complex ownership and high-risk jurisdictions.

Learn more
Why it matters

High-risk relationships demand evidence a regulator will accept, not box-ticking.

Who it is 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 our technology helps

Ownership is traced and connected parties are screened, so the evidence pack is complete.

Service

Sanctions screening

Screening customers and counterparties against global sanctions regimes, and resolving the alerts properly.

Why it matters

Sanctions compliance carries strict liability and demands accurate coverage, with no room for error.

Who it is 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 our technology helps

Screening across 40+ lists, with every potential match reviewed and reasoned by a practitioner.

Service

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 is for

Banks, payment providers, fintechs and any firm with international clients.

How KYCifi helps

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

How our technology helps

PEP and close associate matches are surfaced with supporting evidence for review.

Service

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 is for

Firms conducting onboarding, periodic review or investigations.

How KYCifi helps

Analysts separate genuine risk from noise and document a clear discounting rationale.

How our technology helps

Global media is searched and relevant findings are grouped for analyst review.

Service

Ownership mapping

Mapping corporate structures and resolving ultimate beneficial owners through every layer.

Learn more
Why it matters

You cannot assess risk you cannot see. Hidden ownership is where risk hides.

Who it is for

Banks, law firms and corporates onboarding complex or cross-border entities.

How KYCifi helps

We untangle complex structures and reconcile them against the register.

How our technology helps

Ownership is traced through every corporate layer, so nothing stops at the first level.

Service

Source of funds support

Evidencing the origin of funds and wealth to the standard banks and regulators require.

Learn more
Why it matters

Clear, evidenced source of funds narratives keep transactions and onboarding moving and build reviewer confidence.

Who it is 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 our technology helps

Documents and corporate evidence are organised into one coherent pack.

Service

Regulatory readiness

Preparing firms for supervision, audits and authorisation with audit-ready files and frameworks.

Learn more
Why it matters

Regulators expect evidence on demand. Readiness is the difference between a confident review and an avoidable scramble.

Who it is for

Firms facing FCA, SRA or HMRC supervision, FCA cryptoasset authorisation, or PVARA NOC requirements.

How KYCifi helps

We assess gaps, remediate and assemble supervisor-grade documentation, drawing on Big Four experience.

How our technology helps

Every decision is recorded with its evidence, so your files are ready when the supervisor asks.

Engagement model

A clear, four-step engagement.

Senior-led and fixed-fee from the first conversation through to delivery. No hourly billing, no surprises.
