The AML Bench That's Actually There

We build, train and run AML/KYC benches — 30–50 analysts per team, four languages, deployed the day the project starts. Attrition is our problem, written into the contract. For consultancies selling AML delivery — and for banks doing it.

What the Teams Are Made Of

Three role levels, five domains, four languages — from our Lublin base and remote across Poland.

Language coverage is per seat, not per team — a single bench can hold English-only analysts alongside Dutch, French and Italian speakers, matched to the markets your cases come from. Additional languages are sourced to order.

How the bench model works

Why Day One Holds

Five things we do so day one is actually day one:

01
Define the bench
Headcount, role mix, domains, languages, call-off terms — agreed and written into an SLA before anyone is hired.
02
Recruit and vet
Compliance and banking-operations backgrounds, individually screened — including the stability check most suppliers skip: is this person actually available, or collecting standby fees in three places at once?
03
Train and equip
Domain training to your procedures, plus the practical layer that delays every start — hardware, software, access, security posture — done before the call, not after it.
04
Keep them ready
Between deployments people get engagement, development and honest communication — because an ignored bench is a shrinking bench. We track rotation and its causes, and you see that reporting.
05
Call-off to start
You name the date; the declared headcount starts on it. Composition decisions, replacements and ramp-ups stay our responsibility for the life of the contract.
Our side of the scoreboard
  • Readiness of the declared headcount — the number we commit to is the number that starts
  • Structured internal evaluations — every consultant is assessed and developed between deployments, by us
  • Rotation measured with its causes — and reported to you, not hidden
  • Training, tooling, replacements — plus one dedicated delivery manager, with SLA in the contract
Your side — with us in the loop
  • Project output is judged by your standards — throughput, case quality, documentation
  • Your feedback lands with our delivery manager — we coach, swap and ramp in response
  • A partner in the loop — helping constantly, never interfering in your delivery governance
Where the model earns its keep

Three Situations We're Built For

You sell AML delivery to banks

Your bids promise teams that can start immediately. We hold the bench behind that promise — recruited, trained, equipped and measurably ready — so winning the bid never turns into scrambling for people.

You need to clear a remediation backlog

KYC refresh, alert backlogs, look-backs: surge teams of 30–50 analysts with the right language mix, productive from day one and released when the backlog is gone.

You need multilingual coverage without multiplying suppliers

Dutch, French and Italian case work delivered from Poland — one supplier, one SLA, one delivery manager, EU jurisdiction.

FAQ
What is a managed AML/KYC team, and how is it different from staff augmentation?

With staff augmentation you buy CVs and manage the people yourself. With a managed team you buy readiness: we own selection, training, equipment, stability and replacements, and you call off a working team. You measure output; we answer for the bench.

How fast can a team start?

From an existing bench: the declared headcount starts on the call-off date — day one means day one. Building a new bench from zero: first vetted profiles within 48 hours, a full 30–50-person team in a matter of weeks — we commit to the date at scoping.

Which languages can the analysts work in?

English, Dutch, French and Italian today, per seat rather than per team. Additional languages are sourced to order.

Where do the teams work from?

Our delivery base in Lublin plus remote analysts across Poland — an EU and NATO jurisdiction, with the data-handling and employment stability that regulated clients require.

Can you take over an existing bench from another supplier?

Yes — our largest AML engagement began exactly that way, after a global staffing brand couldn't keep a 100-person bench ready. Takeover includes re-vetting, re-training and honest reporting on what the bench actually holds.

How do you keep bench consultants from drifting away?

By treating standby as a job, not a waiting room: engagement between deployments, development paths, working equipment, and straight communication. We measure rotation and its causes — and share that reporting, because a bench you can't audit is a bench you can't trust.
