Fraud Prevention Strategies for Businesses in Burundi

=====================================================

As Burundi’s economy continues to grow, businesses are facing new challenges in preventing fraud and maintaining compliance with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know-Your-Customer (KYC) regulations. To stay ahead of the game, companies need effective strategies to verify customer identities and prevent financial crimes.

Compliance Requirements

As a member state of the Eastern and Southern Africa Anti-Money Laundering Group (ESAAMLG), Burundi has implemented KYC/AML regulations in line with international standards. The primary legislation governing KYC/AML is the Burundi Law No. 1/23 of June 23, 2014, on the prevention and suppression of money laundering and terrorist financing.

Data Protection Regulations

While there is no specific data protection legislation in place, institutions are required to obtain users’ consent before processing and transferring personal data. Users have the right to erasure of their personal data upon request.
