Working Since 1998

OUR HISTORY

Founded in 1998 by Dr Malcolm Mallia, LEXCO began with the objective of providing compliance services to the business community. Operating under the trade name of ”Malcolm Mallia & Co”, it was one of the first providers of business compliance services in Malta, assisting businesses to adopt and comply to a variety of international standards.

Given the ever-increasing demands for compliance in the business and professional world, LEXCO’s services evolved to include assistance with local and international laws and guidelines related to Anti-Money Laundering and Funding of Terrorism.

LEXCO have since supported countless ‘subject persons’ from within the heart of Valletta, and, with their unique identity, state-of-the-art AML software, and continually growing team, have taken the Maltese Compliance scene by storm.
