AML
Gabon has been on the FATF grey list since February 2023. For regulated businesses, that means heightened EDD requirements, ANIF reporting obligations, and a compliance bar that's moving upward.
Compliance
Verifying a Gabonese business entity means navigating the RCCM registry, fragmented UBO documentation, and COBAC's beneficial ownership rules — with no public UBO register to fall back on.
KYC
Gabon operates under a COBAC-led KYC framework built on CEMAC directives. Here's what identity verification looks like in practice — documents, thresholds, and where onboarding breaks down.
Compliance
Namibia's AML framework is under FATF scrutiny after its February 2024 grey listing. This guide covers the FIC, FIA obligations, STR requirements, and what compliance looks like in 2026.
KYB
KYB compliance in Namibia means navigating BIPA registration, beneficial ownership under section 122A, and FIC obligations — all under FATF grey list pressure. Here's the 2026 guide.

Compliance
PSD3 is still awaiting formal adoption, but payment institutions and BaaS providers are already preparing for stronger fraud controls, beneficiary verification, open banking reforms, and new liability expectations.
AML

Compliance
Diaspora banking apps feel solid at 1K users and exposed at 10K. Here is why the first cohort becomes the real audit risk — and how to fix the record without re-onboarding everyone.
AML
Mauritius has moved fast on AML since exiting the FATF grey list in 2021. The 2024 establishment of the Financial Crimes Commission, the AMLA 2026 overhaul, and a 2027 mutual evaluation deadline have created one of the most actively evolving compliance environments in Africa.
KYB
Mauritius is a holding jurisdiction as much as a domestic market — which makes KYB here structurally different from most African countries. Complex GBL ownership structures, cross-border directors, and layered beneficial ownership are the norm, not the exception.
