Banks in Liberia Eye Fraud Detection Tools as Compliance Regulations Tighten
As Liberia continues to implement stricter Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations, banks in the country are under pressure to upgrade their compliance measures. To stay ahead of the curve, financial institutions are turning to advanced fraud detection tools that can help verify identities and prevent illicit activities.
Liberia’s Regulatory Landscape
Liberia’s regulatory landscape has become increasingly complex in recent years, with the country’s membership in the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and the Intergovernmental Action Group against Money Laundering in West Africa (GIABA) driving the implementation of international standards. The Central Bank of Liberia (CBL) and the Liberia Financial Intelligence Unit (LFIU) are among the key regulators enforcing AML/KYC regulations, which include the Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Act, 2012.
Data Protection Laws
In addition to AML/KYC regulations, Liberia’s data protection laws also require institutions to obtain users’ consent before processing and transferring personal data. Users have the right to request erasure of their personal data upon request.
