Beyon Connect, part of the Beyon Group, is developing an anti-money laundering (AML) referral programme and has signed AMAN Compliance Solutions as its first referral partner.
The agreement was announced during Fintech Forward 2026 at Exhibition World Bahrain. The programme will initially focus on financial crime prevention and compliance services, connecting organisations with independent specialist providers.
Under the model, Beyon Connect will facilitate referrals while the participating providers remain responsible for their own services, commercial agreements, customer relationships and delivery, according to the announcement.
AMAN supports institutions with anti-financial crime capabilities, including compliance with local anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing and anti-fraud regulations, as well as international best practices.
The partnership comes as organisations face increasingly complex regulatory and operational requirements. AMAN’s Bahrain expansion has been supported by the Bahrain Economic Development Board and Tamkeen, which has helped the company build local capabilities and expand its Bahrain-based team.
Beyon Connect CEO Richard Budel said the programme is intended to make it easier for businesses to find specialist providers. AMAN Group CEO Dickson Johnstone said the partnership would give organisations a direct route to AMAN’s financial crime and regulatory expertise.
