Nigeria’s central bank extends anti-money laundering compliance deadlines to 2027–2028, requiring banks and institutions to adopt real-time detection, risk-based due diligence, and secure KYC/KYB integration.
The Central Bank of Nigeria has extended the deadline for financial institutions to comply with new automated anti-money laundering standards, granting deposit money banks 18 months and other institutions 24 months from March 10, 2026, to implement required systems.
The CBN cited the need for more time to adapt, reversing an earlier 12-month timeline.
Institutions must deploy real-time detection tools, risk-based due diligence, and integrate systems with KYC/KYB processes, while ensuring data security and compliance with Nigeria’s Data Protection Act.
Implementation roadmaps are due within three months.
The rules, aligned with international standards, aim to strengthen financial integrity amid rising digitalization and require annual audits, with non-compliance risking penalties.
