Meeting the CBN AML Automation Mandate | 10DX FraudSense Lagos Roundtable 2026

Roundtable Overview

The Central Bank of Nigeria's 2026 AML automation standards shift deposit money banks from manual compliance to real-time monitoring and risk-based controls. With an 18-month deadline, banks must implement transaction monitoring, risk profiling, sanctions screening and case management. Larger institutions are under pressure to deploy AI-driven systems. This roundtable examines what effective AML automation looks like in practice and where current approaches are already falling short.
