About

Senior AML expertise, delivered as scalable operations

AML Ops Malaga was founded to give regulated businesses access to experienced AML operational capacity without the cost base of high-cost European jurisdictions.

Founder & leadership

Andréas Hobbelin — Founder

AML Ops Malaga is led by Andréas Hobbelin, a senior AML and financial crime specialist with over 15 years of experience across high-risk regulated sectors — including online gambling, payment institutions, EMIs, fintech and crypto.

Andréas has built and operated AML frameworks and AML operations within fintech, payments and other regulated sectors, with practical experience of supervisory engagement, operational scaling and remediation.

Our work is grounded in the operational reality of regulated entities: SLAs, evidence, audit trails, MI and constructive dialogue with MLROs and supervisors.
