Why SRO Membership is Essential for AML Compliance
Under the Swiss Anti-Money Laundering Act (AML), businesses must follow strict rules, including know-your-customer (KYC), monitoring, and reporting procedures. If not supervised by FINMA directly, joining a self-regulatory organisation (SRO) is mandatory.
Regulatory compliance
Meet legal obligations for KYC, monitoring, and reporting.
Business credibility
Show transparency and trustworthiness to regulators and partners.
Operational legality
Without an SRO membership, your business cannot legally operate under AML rules.
How We Support You
Regulatory Assessment
What we do: We provide you with a brief legal memorandum outlining your business model under Swiss financial market acts to evaluate what restrictions apply.
Why it matters: AML regulations typically apply to businesses involved in asset transfers, payment systems, lending, or portfolio management. We help you understand your obligations within the broader regulatory framework.
How it helps: Typically, the SRO requires a brief regulatory assessment of the business model under financial market acts, especially for complex cases.
SRO Membership Application
What we do: We handle your entire SRO membership application, leveraging our expertise and strong relationships with SROs to ensure a smooth process.
Timeline: Membership approval typically takes 2–4 months.
Additional services: We can assist in designing AML policies, integrating software tools, and optimizing compliance for efficiency.
