Fraud and AML/CFT compliance professional at Moniepoint GB Limited, investigating cross-border transactions and preparing SARs for UK reporting.

Nigeria

Message

At Moniepoint GB Limited (Monieworld), I investigate cross-border transfers and transaction monitoring alerts, assess suspicious activity, and prepare SARs for the NCA.

I also review higher-risk customers through KYC, CDD, and EDD, and screen customers and transactions against sanctions and watchlists. My findings help risk, legal, and operations teams refine monitoring rules and fraud controls.

At FairMoney Microfinance Bank, I disrupted fraud syndicates through digital forensics and root-cause analysis, reducing platform-level fraud exposure by 15%. I also contributed to fraud recovery and platform security work.

Across roles at Ohentpay UK Limited, Airtel Africa, and United Bank for Africa (UBA), I investigated fraud, monitored transactions, and supported marketplace integrity and customer protection. I use Python and behavioral analysis to identify financial crime risks.
