Chief Compliance Officer & Ongoing Compliance Support

Whether you are launching, scaling, or preparing for a bank review, your MSB needs more than just written policies. You need a live, functioning compliance program backed by knowledgeable professionals who understand both FINTRAC regulations and real-world expectations from banking partners.

Why Compliance Is Critical for Canadian MSBs

Canadian MSBs are regulated by FINTRAC and are expected to maintain a full anti-money laundering program that is both documented and operational. Banks also require proof that your compliance program is active, enforced, and aligned with your risk level.

Even if your policies are in place, you still need to monitor transactions, train staff, submit reports, and respond to due diligence requests. For most businesses, doing this without help can lead to gaps and unnecessary risk.

That is where Comply North comes in. We give you the structure, leadership, and clarity you need to run a fully compliant business.

Frequently Asked Questions

Each question opens to reveal an answer.

Do I need a Chief Compliance Officer to operate an MSB in Canada?

Yes. FINTRAC requires every MSB to have a designated compliance officer. We can act in that role or support your internal team.

Yes, especially in Canada. Many financial institutions view MSBs as high-risk and reject applications that are incomplete or poorly presented. A strong onboarding file and the right connections can make a major difference.
