Regulators move faster than founders expect. What was low-risk eighteen months ago can be a licensing requirement today.

Why compliance matters

/01

Licensing readiness

Regulators expect clear AML/CFT, KYC/KYB, monitoring and risk management procedures before granting approval.
/02

Banking access

Banks and PSPs need to understand how your company manages customer, transaction and sanctions risks.
/03

Investor confidence

Strong compliance infrastructure reduces due diligence friction and increases credibility with institutional partners.

Frequently
asked questions

How do you ensure compliance with FATF and local rules?

We design AML/KYC/KYT frameworks, risk assessments, and reporting systems that align with FATF recommendations, EU AMLD, and national requirements. This ensures your license application passes regulator scrutiny and your operations remain compliant long-term.

Are privacy policies GDPR-compliant?

Yes, we cover GDPR, CCPA, DIFC, and other global standards.

How fast can you prepare a legal opinion?

Usually within 1–2 weeks, depending on complexity and jurisdictions.

Do you prepare whitepapers for MiCA / VARA compliance?

Yes. We draft whitepapers aligned with EU MiCA, UAE VARA, and other regulatory frameworks — ensuring your project is investor-ready and regulator-approved.

What documents are needed to build AML/KYC policies?

We typically require your company registration documents, corporate structure details, information on products and services, client profiles, and transaction flows. This helps us tailor AML/KYC frameworks to your actual business model.

Do you align policies with FATF standards?

Yes. All policies are designed in line with FATF recommendations and adapted to local regulatory requirements (EU AMLD, FinCEN, DFSA, etc.), ensuring cross-border compliance.

Can Medici provide compliance officer training?

Absolutely. We offer training programs for in-house compliance officers, founders, and operational teams. Sessions cover AML/KYC procedures, monitoring, reporting, and regulator expectations.

How often should AML/KYC frameworks be updated?

At least once a year, or whenever there are significant changes — such as new regulations, entering new markets, or launching new products. Regular updates keep you compliant and reduce operational risk.

Do you advise only governments or also private associations?

We work with both regulators and industry associations to design practical policies.

How do you ensure compliance with FATF standards?

All frameworks are built on FATF recommendations, adapted to local needs.

Can you design licensing models for new asset classes (DeFi, stablecoins)?

Yes, we specialize in innovative licensing frameworks for emerging sectors.
