Financial regulations aimed at preventing money laundering continue to tighten, and the introduction of the Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR) in 2027 will bring additional requirements for harmonised processes, transparent risk assessments, and documented decision-making.
As part of its initiative to consolidate, harmonise, and centralise its AML processes, Max Matthiessen, one of the leading insurance brokers in the Nordic region, has chosen Trapets as its partner.
Max Matthiessen began its partnership with Trapets in 2016 as a Transaction Monitoring customer and has now chosen to expand its engagement to also include screening and customer due diligence.
This decision to broaden the collaboration reflects confidence in the Trapets platform and a desire to consolidate more aspects of its compliance operations with a single provider.
A unified AML framework for a growing organisation
Max Matthiessen operates through several companies that are subject to AML regulations.
With ambitious growth plans across the group and the introduction of AMLR in July 2027, the company identified an opportunity to elevate its compliance and AML programme.
“As part of our preparations for AMLR, we identified an opportunity to consolidate and centralise the Group’s AML processes within a more unified framework.
Our ambition was to create more efficient and transparent processes, reduce operational complexity, and ensure a consistent way of working across the entire organisation.
Trapets offered the combination of functionality and flexibility that we believed would best support that transformation.”
Tania Spetz, Senior Compliance Officer at Max Matthiessen
One platform for full AML compliance
Through its partnership with Trapets, Max Matthiessen will consolidate key AML processes into a single platform.
The solution includes customer due diligence (KYC), screening, and transaction monitoring, providing a unified customer risk view throughout the entire customer lifecycle.
A shared risk model and integrated workflows create stronger foundations for risk assessments, more efficient processes, and clearer documentation of risk decisions - areas that will become important as AMLR approaches.
The fact that all AML work is contained in one platform also makes it easier for Max Matthiessen to grow.
New companies, markets and needs can be handled within the same solution, without the need to add more independent systems.
The implementation covers several companies within the group and lays a common foundation for continuous compliance work.
“Max Matthiessen faced a challenge we know too well: how to bring a complex AML structure into full alignment with AMLR without disrupting business growth. We are proud to be part of their journey.”
