In the UK, banks must comply with regulations such as the Financial Services and Markets Act, Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) rules, Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulations, anti‐money laundering (AML) laws, and data protection requirements.

Do you assist with obtaining banking licences and regulatory authorisations?

Yes. ABM Global Compliance provides support throughout the process of obtaining banking licences and regulatory authorisations, including preparing documentation, liaising with regulators, and ensuring ongoing compliance.

What is involved in a banking compliance audit?

A banking compliance audit involves reviewing policies, systems, and practices to identify gaps in regulatory compliance; assessing risk exposure; and recommending corrective actions to ensure full compliance with applicable regulatory standards.

How can strategic compliance solutions help my bank?

Strategic compliance solutions help banks align their compliance frameworks with business goals, implement robust systems for risk mitigation, and stay ahead of regulatory changes to avoid fines and reputational damage.
