According to the CEO, the increase in active advisory mandates signals a market-wide shift toward operational AML readiness in which companies are increasingly expected to demonstrate written policies as well as decision evidence, monitoring coverage, escalation workflows, and audit-ready documentation during onboarding and ongoing reviews. Over the past year, AMLI has expanded its portfolio of active mandates, supporting a growing number of fintech startups, fintech platforms, and cross-border payment providers navigating evolving anti-money laundering (AML) requirements.

"Regulatory expectations are rising globally, and fintech leaders are recognizing that compliance cannot remain a secondary function," said Tigran Rostomyan, founder of AML Incubator. "We are seeing a decisive shift from checkbox policies toward operationally sound, regulator-ready AML programs. including review-ready evidence packs and decision documentation that can be produced quickly during bank and processor reviews."

AMLI attributes the growth to:

• Increased scrutiny of digital asset platforms
• Expanded enforcement activity in multiple jurisdictions
• Greater board-level oversight of compliance risk
• Institutional investors requiring stronger governance frameworks

Despite increased demand, AMLI has maintained a focused operational model centered on strategic advisory, program design, remediation support, and regulatory readiness.

As fintech markets mature, AMLI expects continued demand for structured, defensible compliance infrastructure that aligns with regulator expectations.
