From customer due diligence to transaction monitoring, we ensure that your compliance infrastructure is fully operational.

We evaluate your needs and determine whether setting up a subsidiary, branch, or partnership is the most beneficial.
How this helps:
Obtaining an e-money license is just the beginning. Maintaining compliance is a continuous process. We provide ongoing monitoring services to ensure that your e-money operations stay compliant with regulatory updates. Whether it’s regular AML reporting, auditing internal controls, or reviewing contract terms, we help you maintain a compliant and sustainable operation.
How this helps:
The contracts you enter into play a crucial role in ensuring that your e-money operations are legally secure. We draft, review, and negotiate contracts that address your specific business needs, whether it’s a payment services agreement, user terms and conditions, or partnership agreements. We ensure all your legal agreements are compliant with Turkish law and protect your business interests.
How this helps:
Sometimes, dealing with regulatory bodies in Turkey can be slow or complex. We act as your representative when communicating with regulatory authorities like Turkey’s Central Bank and Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BDDK). Whether it’s for license renewal or handling compliance inspections, we ensure that your interests are well-represented.
How this helps:
Before you launch your e-money services, it’s crucial to assess any regulatory, financial, or operational risks that could arise. We provide a detailed risk assessment customized to your business model and the Turkish market. From cybersecurity risks to regulatory changes, we help you implement strategies to manage and mitigate these risks.
How this helps:
As an investor or business owner, you might decide to exit your Turkish e-money venture.
