Compliance Officer at Wema Bank PLC who identified onboarding control gaps and investigated cases resulting in 40+ SAR filings.

Nigeria
Message

At Wema Bank PLC, I review third-party and counterparty risk across retail, SME and corporate relationships, including monthly CDD and EDD reviews. I identified digital onboarding control gaps and escalated them for remediation.

I investigate suspected financial crime and have led investigations resulting in 40+ Suspicious Activity Report filings. I also screen counterparties for sanctions, PEPs and adverse media, and assess ownership structures and beneficial owners.

I monitor regulatory changes and turn them into practical staff guidance, while supporting regulatory examinations and control reviews. My background also includes accounting at Niger Optical Services and treasury work with Peer Educators Trainers; I'm building working knowledge of Nigeria's PIA and NUPRC framework to extend my compliance expertise into the energy sector.
