We design and implement end-to-end compliance frameworks for banks, covering governance, prudential and conduct risk management, AML/CTF controls, credit risk policies, and outsourcing compliance. Our solutions integrate automated monitoring and reporting tools for real-time risk assessment, ensuring frameworks are both scalable and resilient.
AML/CTF Program Development & Reviews
Our team builds robust AML/CTF programs aligned with Germany’s AML legislation and international standards. We establish CDD/EDD processes, sanctions and PEP screening, transaction monitoring, and suspicious transaction reporting (STR) procedures. Independent reviews and gap analyses ensure readiness for supervisory audits.
We provide strategic support for obtaining and maintaining banking licences, including applications, licence variations, and ongoing reporting obligations. For foreign banks, we advise on local authorisation requirements, cross-border compliance, and EU passporting.
Outsourced Compliance Roles
ABM offers outsourced Compliance Officer, MLRO, and Data Protection Officer services, providing ongoing monitoring, governance updates, and regulatory reporting without the cost of building large in-house teams.
We deliver targeted programs for compliance teams, operational staff, and executives on AML/CTF, prudential rules, outsourcing requirements, market conduct, and internal controls.
Internal Audit & Regulatory Readiness Reviews
Our full-scope audits and mock inspections test key controls in KYC, AML/CTF, operational risk, market conduct, and governance. Findings are translated into practical action plans.
For banks with global operations, we support harmonisation of group policies, cross-border reporting, and adherence to international AML/CTF frameworks.
Ongoing Support
We provide regular compliance health checks, regulatory update briefings, and compliance dashboards to ensure continuous alignment with supervisory expectations.
