ASSESSMENT & ADVISORY
Why Gibbs Hybrid KYC & AML Services
Gibbs Hybrid has a specific high calibre unit (Assessment & Advisory) to support our clients’ internal departments with sensitive and high-risk phases.
We provide analysis of wider AML risks across in the portfolio or a redefinition of the Risk Matrix Calculation.
While the UK has a policy of implementing EU regulations to the fullest – GDPR is a recent example – the deeper complexities lie in potential disruption to EU/UK trade agreements, taxation and the issues around the free flow of workers between countries.
From an AML/CTF/KYC perspective, our team can manage the subsequent migration of current UK records to new jurisdictions in, for example, Dublin or Luxembourg.

Our experience and credibility
- Our client is a major global Custodian and Investment fund services bank. Their investment and treasury services is based in Luxembourg, which is also the headquarters of Gibbs Hybrid’s KYC/AML office.
- The project, which is ongoing, is to remediate the bank’s anti-money laundering (KYC) entity files for its investment fund clients (made up of mainly UCITS & AIFs which include SPVs, Trusts and Complex entity Structures) to meet a regulatory deadline set by the CSSF, Luxembourg’s financial regulator. We are capturing the AML risks according to specifications requested by CSSF. The bank’s incumbent professional services firm was unable to meet deadlines set by the bank, or the CSSF specifications, and so the client turned to Gibbs Hybrid.
