Fractional MLRO and compliance officer appointments, VASP registration and licensing, AML/CFT frameworks and governance advisory. Based in the Isle of Man, working across the UK, Europe and beyond. Every engagement is scoped in writing and delivered by people who have done the roles themselves.
From a pre-licence start-up choosing a jurisdiction to an established operator running compliance across several regimes. The common thread is a business that needs senior compliance leadership without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Exchanges, custodians, stablecoin issuers and token projects registering under the Isle of Man DBA, MiCA or the UK cryptoasset regime, and living with the Travel Rule and CARF.
PSPs, EMIs, MSBs and open-banking platforms facing PSD3, AMLA and a rising transaction-monitoring bar.
Algorithmic trading, betting and gaming platforms, marketplaces and online businesses that take payments, handle customer money or sit close to a regulatory perimeter without quite knowing which one.
Acquirers and PE firms that need regulatory due diligence, and boards that need governance with real operating experience behind it.
Twelve services, grouped by the problem you are actually trying to solve. Every engagement is scoped in writing before it starts.
A named, qualified professional holding the statutory role inside your business. Appointments, not a name on a form.
Getting licensed, choosing the right jurisdiction and building an AML/CFT framework that works the way your business does.
Senior help when the board, a buyer or a regulator asks a hard question, and when the rules change under you.
Kybri was founded out of running a regulated virtual asset business, not advising one from a distance. We have taken VASPs through registration, sat in the MLRO seat inside them, and fed into the Isle of Man’s consultations on the Travel Rule and CARF. If you are building in digital assets, this is the part of the site to read.
Isle of Man Designated Business registration, MiCA CASP authorisation, UK cryptoasset registration and multi-jurisdiction applications, from choosing the jurisdiction to post-approval set-up.
Implementing the FATF Travel Rule, getting ready for CARF and CRS reporting, and the vendor, policy and data decisions that sit behind both.
Perimeter analysis for custody models, stablecoin and tokenisation projects and DeFi-adjacent products, so you know which regime you are in before you launch.
Fractional MLRO and compliance officer appointments for exchanges, custodians and crypto-payment hybrids, with blockchain analytics, transaction monitoring and exchange-level risk understood from the inside.
Most compliance consultancies have only ever advised. Kybri grew out of running regulated businesses: a VASP and payments group, statutory MLRO appointments across several entities, and board seats approved by the Isle of Man FSA. We have been accountable for the outcomes, not just the frameworks.
That shapes the advice. It is technical where it needs to be, practical where it matters, and alert to the commercial pressures you are balancing, not just the obligations you have to meet. The people behind it are on the About page.
Most engagements begin the same way, whether you need an MLRO next month or a licence next year.
Thirty minutes on where you are, what the regulator expects and what is actually at stake. If Kybri is not the right fit, we will say so and point you somewhere useful.
A short proposal with the deliverables, the engagement model (retainer, fixed fee or day rate) and what we need from you. No surprises later.
Appointments and projects typically begin within two weeks. Urgent interim cover can be faster. From there you deal with one senior person, not a rotating team.
Kybri is not a law firm, not a licensed corporate service provider and not a regulated entity. It is a specialist consultancy. You get senior regulatory expertise on flexible terms, and clear lines about where our work stops and your lawyers’ begins.
New articles most weeks on AML/CFT, licensing, Isle of Man regulation and the operational side of compliance.
A thirty-minute call, no obligation. If the answer is that you do not need us yet, you will hear that too.
