Midhat I.

I'm a KYC/AML compliance consultant with seven years of hands-on experience helping payment facilitators, fintechs, and high-risk merchants get onboarded, stay compliant, and clear processor rejections. Previously at Ernst & Young Forensics (Senior Consultant) leading financial crime risk assessments for UAE and Bahrain banks. Currently supporting a Jersey-based accounting firm on FCA and JFSC compliance, alongside direct client work. If your merchant is stuck in review, your EDD is backlogged, or your processor rejected a submission that's what I fix. WHAT I DELIVER: • KYB/EDD packages for high-risk merchants: gaming, crypto, CBD, peptides, MSBs • Processor rejection recovery and resubmission (Stripe, Adyen, Antom) • Sanctions screening: World-Check, OFAC, EU Consolidated List, PEP/adverse media • Transaction monitoring triage and false positive reduction (MANTAS) • SAR/STR filing via goAML • AML/CFT policy drafting, onboarding manuals, and compliance frameworks • Gap analysis against FinCEN, FATF, FCA, CBUAE, and JFSC standards • KYC remediation for existing customer files TRACK RECORD: 60+ high-risk merchants onboarded with a 100% audit pass rate. 300+ STRs filed. Reduced MANTAS false positives by 25% at EY. Reversed two Antom/Alipay rejections for a jewelry merchant, unblocking $50K/month in processing volume.
