About the role
This interview covers the first-line analysis of transaction monitoring alerts in a Nigerian fintech. The panel wants to see that you can distinguish unusual activity from reasonable behaviour, follow compliance procedures and write a case that a reviewer can understand.
How to prepare

- Revise the purpose of KYC, customer due diligence and enhanced due diligence.
- Practise comparing transaction activity with a customer's stated profile.
- Read the current official CBN and relevant Nigerian authority guidance before the interview.
- Prepare to explain why confidentiality matters during a compliance investigation.
Common mistakes
