Bibitayo Abikoye: Navigating regulatory compliance in Nigerian fintech through technological innovation | The Guardian Nigeria News

Leveraging his rich experience in financial regulation and risk management, Bibitayo has contributed significantly to understanding how financial institutions can achieve regulatory compliance through technological innovation. In her latest publication, “Regulatory Compliance and Efficiency in Financial Technologies: Challenges and Innovations,” she explores how fintech can improve compliance and streamline operations, focusing on Nigeria’s rapidly growing fintech sector.

Bibitayo’s research highlights the dual challenge for financial institutions: maintaining regulatory compliance while achieving operational efficiency. It highlights the transformative role of regulatory technology (RegTech) in the compliance management revolution. By integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), RegTech automates compliance processes, reducing the burden of manual controls and ensuring real-time compliance with evolving regulatory landscapes. This automation is particularly beneficial in Nigeria, where the Central Bank of Nigeria frequently updates its regulations to keep pace with the growth of fintech. By adopting RegTech solutions, Nigerian financial institutions can seamlessly integrate these updates into their operations, ensuring compliance without disrupting business processes.

Data security and privacy emerge as crucial concerns in Bibitayo’s analysis. It highlights the importance of robust cybersecurity measures and advanced encryption technologies to protect sensitive financial information. With the rise of digital transactions, ensuring data protection is crucial to building consumer trust and meeting local and international data protection standards. In Nigeria, institutions must adapt to the Nigerian Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) as well as global standards such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Bibitayo’s research highlights that adopting advanced cybersecurity protocols ensures compliance and provides a competitive advantage in the global market.

Operational efficiency through automation is another key focus of Bibitayo’s work. She explains how automating common financial tasks—invoicing, payment processing, and economic forecasting—can significantly reduce costs and improve accuracy. Automation minimizes the risk of human error, ensuring smoother transactions and compliance with regulatory standards. This efficiency is particularly vital in Nigeria, where extending financial services to underserved populations is a national priority. Automated systems can streamline new customer onboarding, making financial services more accessible and reliable, thereby supporting broader economic development.

Navigating the regulatory landscape is complex, and Bibitayo suggests that financial institutions must remain agile and continually update their compliance strategies. It advocates a proactive approach, in which institutions regularly review and adjust their frameworks to align with current regulations. This is particularly relevant in Nigeria, where the fintech sector is rapidly evolving under the leadership of bodies like the Central Bank of Nigeria. Abikoye highlights the importance of leveraging technology to monitor regulatory changes and assess their impact, enabling institutions to maintain compliance while driving growth. Its call for continuous learning and adaptation engages the audience and encourages them to take an active role in shaping the future of the fintech industry.

Bibitayo’s ideas are particularly relevant to Nigeria’s rapidly growing fintech sector, driven by a young, tech-savvy population and increasing mobile phone penetration. It highlights examples of fintech innovation in Nigeria, such as mobile banking platforms like Paga and Flutterwave, which have revolutionized access to financial services.
