Amiqus Strengthens Leadership in AML Expertise

Scottish fintech Amiqus has just appointed Graham MacKenzie, an expert in Anti- Money Laundering (AML), as its Director of AML & Financial Crime Risk. Graham brings with him over a decade of hands-on experience in AML and financial crime regulation. His career includes roles as Chair of the UK AML Supervisors Forum, member of the Legal Sector Affinity Group (LSAG), and Head of AML at the Law Society of Scotland.

Enhancing AML Capabilities in a Rapidly Changing Sector

With an increase in regulatory demands and the increasing need for firms to proactively manage AML risks, Amiqus is doubling down on its investment in AML solutions. Graham’s appointment is more than a leadership shift, it marks the next phase in Amiqus’ strategy to scale its AML platform for high-volume financial services and wealth management clients.

As part of this evolution, Amiqus is launching a new AML consulting service. This capability will enhance its existing offerings by providing clients with bespoke content, premium support, and access to regulatory guidance, independent audits, and horizon scanning for upcoming regulatory changes.

Looking Ahead

Amiqus is shaping the future of AML services and with Graham, the company will lead the charge in equipping regulated firms with the tools, knowledge, and support they need to navigate an increasingly challenging regulatory environment.

Callum Murray, CEO of Amiqus, commented:
“We’ve committed to scaling the impact Amiqus has by 10x over the next few years. To do that it’s critically important we’re able to attract the very best people to join us across a wide variety of roles.”

I’ve known and respected Graham for a number of years in his previous role and I’m excited for us to put our plans to work, supporting our teams, clients and delivering on the potential we have to fundamentally change the way people are able to reusably access regulated products and services online.”

Graham MacKenzie commented:
“After eight incredible years setting up and running the AML function at the Law Society of Scotland, I have gotten to know the team at Amiqus really well. I’ve always been impressed not only by the quality of their product and solutions but by their overall mission and objectives – growing ethically, sustainably and purposefully, using business as a force for good and making access to legal and other professional services simpler for everyone.”

“When making the decision to move on from the Society, it was important to me to know these are the principles which continue to guide Callum and everyone whoworks at Amiqus.”

“As money laundering and other economic crime risks become ever more complex, and the regulatory landscape expands to keep pace, it is clear to me that using technology you can trust is not only a competitive advantage – it has increasingly become an imperative. “

“As an ex-regulator, I'm acutely aware of the pressures all professional firms face in the current environment. There is however, a huge amount of untapped potential to use technology to help firms in this space and I’m looking forward to using my experience and expertise to support Amiqus and their clients unlock this opportunity, and with wider AML/economic crime compliance requirements.”
