What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a Compliance Officer role in a fast-paced fintech environment where I can build AML/KYC frameworks and apply transaction monitoring, regulatory reporting, and compliance-support experience.

I've spent over 10 years supporting transaction monitoring, reconciliation, KYC, audit readiness, and regulatory compliance across banking and telecommunications.

At First Bank of Nigeria, I monitored daily transactions across banking channels with over 99% processing accuracy, investigated exceptions within regulatory timelines, and managed customer account lifecycles from KYC onboarding through due diligence updates. I also partnered with internal audit teams and regulatory representatives, preparing evidence for compliance reviews and examinations.

I migrated more than 2,000 customers to digital banking platforms, improving KYC data accuracy and adoption of monitored digital channels. Earlier, I coordinated compliant onboarding for 250 POS terminals and helped drive a 90% increase in channel revenue.

My finance operations foundation includes reducing an accounts receivable cycle by 37% through structured repayment plans. I'm building on this experience through training in FP&A, financial modeling, budgeting, forecasting, advanced Excel, and ethics and compliance.
