Eritrea Banking Compliance Requirements: Stay Ahead of the Game with Smile ID

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

As the financial landscape in Eritrea continues to evolve, banks and financial institutions are faced with the daunting task of ensuring compliance with digital Know Your Customer (KYC) and data regulations. With Smile ID, you can effortlessly verify identities and stay ahead of the curve.

Regulatory Framework

Eritrea’s regulatory framework is underpinned by its membership in the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and the Eastern and Southern Africa Anti Money Laundering Group (ESAAMLG). The country has implemented KYC/AML regulations in line with international standards, enforced by the Bank of Eritrea (BOE), Eritrea Financial Intelligence Unit (EFIU), and other regulatory bodies.

Primary Legislation

The Anti-Money Laundering and Combating Financing of Terrorism Proclamation No. 175/2014

This legislation governs KYC/AML in Eritrea, ensuring that financial institutions comply with international standards to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing.

Data Protection Laws

Article 18 of the Constitution

Article 18 enforces Eritrea’s data protection laws, requiring institutions to obtain user consent before processing and transferring personal data. This ensures that sensitive information is protected and used responsibly.
