Remitz Compliance Launch Sprint (10-14 days)
A 10-14 day delivery sprint that stands up a branded Remitz sandbox for an MSB or fintech client in FCA SPI application, then converts it to a live production platform with AML/KYC workflows, FX corridor logic, and payout connectors configured.
- Client holds an active FCA money transfer licence or has a live SPI application in progress, since Remitz requires the operator to hold its own authorisation
- Signed Remitz SPI Licence Applicant plan at £79 monthly so the hosted sandbox is provisioned before day one
- Client branding assets (logo, colour palette, domain) ready for the white-label customer portal and mobile app
- Named client compliance officer available for AML/KYC workflow sign-off and regulator evidence review
- Provider API credentials or onboarding contacts for at least one payout partner (TerraPay, Fincra, or Trust Payments) and one KYC vendor (Onfido, Yoti, or Trulioo)
- 1.Confirm the client's FCA authorisation status or SPI application reference before any Remitz configuration begins
- 2.Create the Remitz account on the SPI Licence Applicant plan at £79 monthly and confirm per-month volume licensing terms
- 3.Map the client's target corridors and expected monthly transfer volume to size the correct Remitz tier
- 1.Log into the Remitz hosted sandbox and walk the client compliance officer through the back-office dashboard layout
- 2.Load the client's AML/KYC policy into Remitz compliance workflow templates so screening steps mirror their written procedure
- 3.Document which evidence artefacts the regulator expects and tag each one to a Remitz workflow step
- 1.Apply client branding assets to the white-label customer portal and mobile app shell inside Remitz
- 2.Configure the client's domain and confirm the branded portal resolves correctly in the sandbox
- 3.Set user roles for the client's operations team across the Remitz back-office dashboard
- 1.Build the KYC integration path in Remitz using the client's chosen vendor from Onfido, Yoti, or Trulioo
- 2.Run test identity submissions through the sandbox and record pass, refer, and fail outcomes for the compliance file
- 3.Tune Remitz AML screening thresholds against the client's risk appetite statement
- 1.Configure corridor-based fee logic in the Remitz FX engine for each target send market
- 2.Set the real-time FX pricing markup and confirm the client's margin per corridor is visible in the dashboard
- 3.Test a sample transfer end to end through the sandbox and reconcile the fee and FX figures
- 1.Connect the first payout provider (TerraPay, Fincra, or Trust Payments) to Remitz using the client's API credentials
- 2.Run a sandbox payout to confirm the connector settles and the Remitz transaction record matches
- 3.Add a second payout connector if the client's corridors require a fallback route
- 1.Configure agent management in Remitz if the client uses a sub-agent network, including agent onboarding and limits
- 2.Set agent-level transaction caps and commission rules inside the Remitz agent dashboard
- 3.Rehearse a compliance escalation path from agent submission to back-office review
- 1.Assemble the regulator evidence pack from Remitz sandbox outputs: workflow screenshots, test transactions, and screening logs
- 2.Walk the client team through generating compliance reports from the Remitz back-office dashboard
- 3.Run a live training session on daily AML monitoring and exception handling in Remitz
- 1.Review the full sandbox configuration against the client's SPI application commitments and close any gaps
- 2.Confirm the Remitz sandbox is ready to become the production platform on upgrade
- 3.Agree the go-live checklist with the client compliance officer and operations lead
- 1.Upgrade the Remitz account from the SPI Licence Applicant plan to the Starter plan at £299 monthly for production
- 2.Re-verify branding, KYC, FX, and payout connectors on the production instance
- 3.Run a controlled first live transaction and reconcile it against the Remitz transaction record
- 1.Hand over the Remitz back-office dashboard to the client operations team with a written runbook
- 2.Set the monthly support rhythm covering Remitz configuration changes, corridor additions, and compliance reviews
- 3.Schedule the first 30-day compliance and corridor performance review
The Remitz licence cost is small next to the agency fee: a £79 monthly sandbox and a £299 monthly Starter plan sit underneath a managed service billed at $1040 per month, so the platform line item stays a minor cost of delivery. The agency margin comes from configuration, compliance advisory, and provider integration labour, not from reselling Remitz, which cannot be white-labelled as a client service. Once the client is live, the 3 hours monthly of Remitz maintenance supports a recurring retainer with very little delivery overhead.
- Branded Remitz sandbox environment configured with the client's compliance workflow templates and AML/KYC practice flows
- Regulator evidence pack drawn from Remitz sandbox outputs, including screening logs, test transactions, and workflow documentation
- Live Remitz production instance on the Starter plan with KYC vendor, FX corridor logic, and at least one payout connector active
- Client operations runbook covering the Remitz back-office dashboard, agent management, and daily AML monitoring
- 30-day compliance and corridor performance review schedule tied to the Remitz reporting dashboard
The client is transacting live on their branded Remitz production platform with KYC, FX, and payout connectors verified, and the compliance officer has signed off the regulator evidence pack generated from the sandbox.
