Case Study: Ucee MFB — AML/CFT/KYC Training at Scale

How Avant Tech Nigeria is delivering ongoing AML/CFT/KYC compliance training to Ucee Microfinance Bank staff across the organisation.

Client profile

Ucee Microfinance Bank, a Lagos-based MFB serving retail and small-business customers across its branch network.

Challenge

As a regulated financial institution, Ucee MFB needs every customer-facing and back-office employee to be current on Anti-Money Laundering, Countering the Financing of Terrorism, and Know Your Customer obligations — not as a one-off induction, but as a standing capability that holds up under CBN scrutiny and evolves as guidance changes.

Avant Tech Nigeria response

  • Designed an AML/CFT/KYC curriculum mapped to CBN regulatory expectations for microfinance banks
  • Rolled training out across the organisation rather than a single department, covering both frontline and operations staff
  • Structured the programme to run on an ongoing basis, not a single cohort, so new joiners and refresher cycles are covered by the same track
  • Delivered through Avant Tech's authorised training and certification track, with assessment and progress tracking built in

Outcome so far

  • Training has reached approximately 100 Ucee MFB staff to date
  • The programme is active and ongoing, with the bank continuing to run staff through it as part of standing compliance practice
  • AML/CFT/KYC competency now sits inside a repeatable, trackable programme rather than ad hoc sessions
