Software developers and payment solutions providers, appsNmobile solutions limited has been organizing series of anti-money laundering training for its developers and transactions analyst. These training programs comes on the heels of several reported cases of fraud associated with the mobile money service and on other e-payment applications on the Ghanaian market.
According to a report by telecommunication giant MTN, it receives about 365 complaints of fraud from subscribers every month and blocks over 400,000 scam messages daily on its network.
The Ghana Chamber of Telecommunication has also been reporting that it has recorded over 388 cases of fraud across networks in 2016.
Speaking on the importance of the training, the CEO of appsNmobile solutions limited Mr. Richard Bansah says the training workshop is part of several measures that the Fintech is taking to prevent cyber criminals from using its systems to launder money and commit other crimes.
He says although the Fintech has not recorded any case of fraud on its system, it is important for the developers and financial analysts to know the antics of cyber fraudsters and money launderers in order to enhance security features to protect the sanctity of the payment systems and market.
The staff of the Fintech on the other hand have expressed satisfaction with management for their continuous effort at enhancing their skills through these workshops and training programs.
