NFIU rallies banks, fintechs to fight financial crimes

The Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) is collaborating with banks, fintech companies, and other stakeholders to develop a joint financial intelligence sharing framework. This initiative aims to enhance collaboration between public and private sector institutions in identifying emerging financial threats and disrupting illicit financial networks.

The NFIU held a high-level stakeholder engagement, supported by the British High Commission and the Convention for Business Integrity, to discuss and design the framework.
