The CBN's March 10, 2026 circular mandates automated AML systems across all financial institutions in Nigeria. Banks have 18 months to fully comply. Every institution must submit an implementation roadmap to the CBN Compliance Department by June 10, 2026. Grynd builds the automation infrastructure that keeps you compliant, audit-ready, and ahead of regulatory sanctions.
Every system we build is aligned to Circular BSD/DIR/PUB/LAB/019/002 and the FATF recommendations it enforces. No bolt-ons. Integrated infrastructure.
Real-time transaction surveillance with rule-based and AI-assisted anomaly detection. Flags unusual patterns — large cash flows, structured deposits, cross-border transfers — instantly across all channels.
CBN requiredAutomated customer identity verification integrated with BVN and NIN national databases. Risk-scored customer profiles generated at onboarding with EDD triggers for PEPs and high-risk segments.
CBN requiredAutomated Suspicious Activity Report and Suspicious Transaction Report generation in NFIU-compliant formats. Maker-checker workflows with full audit trails ensure every report is accurate, complete, and submitted on time.
NFIU requiredSecure API-integrated reporting pipeline that connects your core banking system to CBN and NFIU submission requirements. Encrypted transmission, role-based access, and tamper-proof audit logs built in.
CBN requiredWe move fast because your deadline doesn't wait. Most institutions are behind the optimal preparation curve already.
We assess your current AML infrastructure against CBN Circular BSD/DIR/PUB/LAB/019/002. You get a clear breakdown of what's missing, what's at risk, and what the roadmap submission needs to say.
We build the structured roadmap document required by the CBN Compliance Department — covering all 10 baseline technical requirements, timeline commitments, and system architecture decisions.
We build your AML automation stack — transaction monitoring, KYC flows, SAR generation, and reporting pipelines — integrated with your core banking system via secure APIs.
We stay on as your compliance automation partner — monitoring system performance, updating rules as the regulatory environment evolves, and ensuring you stay audit-ready at every CBN inspection.
Non-compliance exposes your institution to administrative sanctions, remedial directives, and financial penalties against both the institution and responsible compliance officers personally. The CBN will monitor compliance through off-site surveillance, on-site examinations, and thematic regulatory reviews.
