Services
Four core disciplines covering the full compliance lifecycle — from real-time monitoring to cross-border expansion readiness.
01
The Nigerian regulatory landscape moves faster than any compliance team can manually track. Komply ingests every circular, directive, consultation paper, and policy update from the eight agencies that matter most to fintech — and surfaces only what's relevant to your specific business model.
What's covered
How it's delivered
Ideal for
Startups without in-house legal counsel, Series A+ teams that need to brief their board on regulatory risk, and ops leads who need to stay ahead of enforcement trends without reading 40-page circulars.
02
Most Nigerian fintechs discover compliance gaps during a regulatory examination — or worse, an enforcement action. Komply's gap analysis puts you on the front foot: a structured audit of your current operations against every applicable framework, delivered as an actionable report your team can work from immediately.
Phase 1
Document review
We review your existing policies, T&Cs, privacy notices, AML/CFT documentation, and any prior regulatory correspondence.
Phase 2
Operations mapping
A structured interview with your product, legal, and ops leads maps actual workflows against regulatory requirements line by line.
Phase 3
Gap report
A scored, prioritised report with severity ratings (critical / moderate / informational), owner assignments, and estimated remediation effort.

Nigerian fintech licensing is neither linear nor obvious. Whether you need a PSB license, MFB approval, or payment solution service provider certification depends on your exact product, transaction types, and customer segments. We sequence the path that fits your current stage and runway — not a generic checklist.
PSB License
Payment Service Bank — for deposit-taking and value-added financial services
MFB Approval
Microfinance Bank — required for credit-led or savings product models
PSSP / PTC
Payment Solution Service Provider — for gateway, switching, and processing services
EMI / AISP
E-money institution or account information service for open banking builds
SEC VASPs
Virtual Asset Service Provider registration for crypto and digital asset platforms
What we deliver
A sequenced licensing plan with CBN application templates, documentation checklists, capital requirement calculations, and a realistic timeline for each milestone. We also flag the conditions your product or corporate structure needs to meet before you apply.
04
Expanding beyond Nigeria means inheriting the compliance requirements of every market you touch. FATF grey-listing, correspondent banking relationships, and dual-jurisdiction AML obligations create complexity most early-stage compliance teams aren't built to handle. We are.
Map your transaction flows against the 40 FATF recommendations and Nigeria's NFIU requirements. Risk-based approach documentation and correspondent banking due diligence support.
Customer identification programme design that satisfies Nigerian SCUML requirements alongside Ghana GRA, Kenya CBK, and UK FCA KYC standards simultaneously.
Threshold and rule-set design for cross-border transaction monitoring, STR/CTR reporting templates, and vendor evaluation support for screening tools.
End-to-end AML/CFT policy, customer risk rating matrix, PEP and sanctions screening workflow, and annual AML risk assessment documentation.
