The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has sent a message to Point of Sale (PoS) operators across the country.
Â
The commission on Wednesday, May 7, charged the PoS operators to ensure that they are guided by the rules and regulations of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
Â
According to the commission, all PoS operators in Nigeria need to take the issue of Know Your Customer (KYC) seriously.
Â
Bawa Kaltungo, Acting Director, Kaduna Zonal Directorate, gave the advice during a meeting with operators under the umbrella of the Association of Mobile and Bank Agents of Nigeria (AMBAN) led by the chairman, Mohammed Bala.
Â
Speaking on behalf of Ola Olukoyede, the chairman of the EFCC, Kaltungo commended the association for organising such an engagement.
Â
He also called for their collaboration with the EFCC in the fight against money laundering and other financial crimes.
Â
Kultango urged all the operators to ensure they get acquainted with the laws and guidelines of the CBN in relation to their line of business.
Â
He urged the PoS operators to ensure they do not fall victim to fraudsters, as they are a huge attraction to criminals.
Â
In his address, Bala highlighted some of the risks associated with being a PoS operator in the country.
Â
For easy identification of members, Bala disclosed that the association came up with a website where every one of their members is captured.
