According to ABCON President, Alhaji Aminu Gwadabe, “This automation will help the CBN to remove the wrong perception that people are having because there will be transparency. Everybody can go to the portal and see that the BDC are even buying dollar at N357. “The automation integrates three regulatory agencies, first is the CBN portal, it is also connected to the portal of the Nigeria Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) and it also integrates Nigeria Inter Bank Settlement System (NIBSS) platform. For CBN, we send our transaction, our daily utilisation and purchase. “Also NFIU captures suspicious transactions; the NIBSS portal will capture KYC, verification and validation of BVN of our customers. It is robust and all encompassing in addressing anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism financing.”
