Regulatory frameworks covered

Compliance Strategies is a Lagos-based consultancy working across AML/CFT, data protection, and regulatory compliance for banks and payment service providers.

Our position

We sit close to the work — reviewing transaction monitoring functions, preparing regulatory submissions, and running data protection assessments inside the institutions we serve. That vantage point shapes how we advise: frameworks that are built to be operated by a real team, and defended in front of a real regulator, rather than templates adapted from elsewhere.

Where we work

Nigeria
Core regulatory base — CBN-supervised banks and PSSPs.
South Africa
Cross-border compliance for expanding fintech operators.
Rwanda
Regional licensing and compliance support.
Kenya, UK
Supporting institutions through pending licence applications.

How we think about the work

01
Regulator-first, not audit-first
We design controls to hold up under CBN and equivalent regulatory scrutiny, not just to pass an internal box-check.
02
Operable, not just documented
A policy nobody can run is not a control. We build frameworks your team can actually execute day to day.
03
Specific to your risk profile
Banking, fintech, and merchant platforms carry different exposures. We don't reuse one template across all three.
04
Plain, direct communication
Findings and recommendations written for senior management and boards — clear enough to act on immediately.
