Wishing You All a Prosperous 2025!
As online scams and digital fraud continue to rise globally, especially in West Africa, itβs crucial that we take stronger measures to combat these financial crimes π¨. The rise of 'hustle kingdoms,' where unemployed local graduates (often referred to as Yahoo and Sakawa boys) collaborate with foreign bad actors to establish scam centres, alongside widespread corruption that hampers economic and social progress, underscores the urgent need for greater awareness and the adoption of smarter solutions, such as AI and machine learning, to combat these crimes π»π€.
Our goal this year is to deepen our commitment to helping regulated businesses in these regions strengthen their AML and financial frameworks π. I
