African Fintechs Lack Affordable Real-Time AML/CFT Sanctions Screening Infrastructure
Fintech companies and microfinance banks in Africa must screen transactions against international sanctions lists including OFAC, UN, EU, and local regulators, but affordable and fast API-based screening tools designed for African regulatory environments are scarce. Non-compliance exposes institutions to severe regulatory penalties. The gap is structural and worsened by the need to support country-specific reporting formats like NFIU goAML.
