We asked dozens of professionals working in compliance, AML, and regulatory roles across financial services, fintech, and investment firms in Cyprus to tell us about their day-to-day realities.
Here’s what we heard:
Top 3 challenges:
- Keeping up with constantly changing regulations
- Lack of internal understanding from non-compliance stakeholders
- Increasing expectations from regulators without proportional resources
Key skills for success:
- Attention to detail
- Analytical thinking
- Clear communication
- Staying calm under pressure
Advice for newcomers:
“Never stop learning.”
“Be adaptable, regulation never sits still.”
“Build relationships across your business. Compliance can’t work in a silo.”
Trends shaping the future:
- ESG integration
- DORA & MiCA readiness
- Use of AI in onboarding and monitoring
