Cameroon’s Banking Sector and the Rise of Regulatory Compliance

Cameroon’s banking industry stands at a crossroads. With regional regulators tightening the grip on anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CFT) compliance, banks must evolve or face steep penalties and reputational damage.

The introduction of Basel II and III standards into the regional banking framework further intensifies the pressure. Capital adequacy, liquidity ratios, and risk management protocols are now more than just financial metrics—they are legal imperatives.

Local banks, fintech startups, and microfinance institutions must align with these evolving standards to ensure regulatory approval and maintain investor confidence.

At BANGA ASSAM H. E. & ASSOCIATES, we provide comprehensive legal audits, policy reviews, and training services to financial institutions navigating these obligations.

Our work ensures that clients not only comply but thrive in this challenging environment. The future of Cameroon’s banking industry depends not just on balance sheets, but on robust legal governance.
