Regulators in Nigeria, the Philippines, and Indonesia are asking one question: what can your infrastructure demonstrate in real time?
Here's the problem: most digital banks fail at this. They're still pulling compliance data from silos, reconstructing audit trails manually, waiting weeks to produce evidence regulators expect in minutes.
