Banking, Payment Services & Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Compliance

Legal advisory services are provided to domestic and international payment institutions, card schemes, fintech companies, crypto-asset trading platforms, and startups offering banking and payment infrastructure.

Within this scope, the legal and regulatory framework governing banking and payment services in Turkey—including relevant statutory amendments and regulatory guidance—is closely monitored, and practical legal input is provided to support clients’ compliance and operational decision-making.

For institutions operating in emerging areas—particularly crypto-assets and blockchain-based applications—tailored legal solutions are developed in line with their specific business models, along with comprehensive support covering regulatory alignment, contractual arrangements, and internal policy design.

Furthermore, in accordance with Law No. 5549 on the Prevention of Laundering Proceeds of Crime and related MASAK (Financial Crimes Investigation Board) regulations, compliance monitoring and advisory services are offered to assist clients in fulfilling their AML/CFT obligations. This includes support in establishing internal audit mechanisms, implementing risk-based customer due diligence (KYC/EDD), managing suspicious transaction reporting procedures, and developing effective internal control frameworks.
