Fiato Digital Solutions’ commitment to Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Financing of Terrorism compliance.
Fiato Digital Solutions operates within the financial technology sector and complies with all AML/CFT laws and regulations in Nigeria. The company adheres to the Nigerian Anti-Money Laundering Act, the Terrorism (Prevention) Act, and relevant guidelines issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU).
Fiato Digital Solutions conducts comprehensive risk assessments considering factors such as product nature, customer types, transaction methods, and geographical exposure.
The company verifies customer identity through robust CDD processes before establishing relationships. Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) is applied for high-risk entities, and ongoing monitoring ensures transactions align with customer profiles.
The AML/CFT Compliance Officer oversees policy enforcement, employee training, and suspicious transaction reporting to the NFIU as mandated by law.
All employees must promptly report suspicious activities to the compliance officer, who evaluates and escalates reports to regulatory authorities where required.
Continuous transaction monitoring is conducted to identify suspicious patterns. The AML/CFT policy is reviewed annually or more frequently to ensure continued compliance.
Fiato requires all third-party partners to maintain equivalent AML/CFT standards, with due diligence conducted prior to and during all business engagements.
Fiato screens all customers and transactions against global sanctions lists (UN, EU, US). Transactions involving sanctioned parties are prohibited and reported.
Regular training ensures that employees understand AML/CFT obligations, red flags, and proper reporting channels.
Fiato maintains customer identification, transaction, and suspicious activity records for at least five years, ensuring secure and accessible storage.
Fiato Digital Solutions remains committed to preventing money laundering and terrorist financing. All employees are expected to comply fully and report any suspected breaches to the Compliance Officer.
