Why Aminata.ai exists

Built for regulated finance — not general-purpose AI.

One mission, one security standard, one production stack purpose-built for the institutions that move Africa's money.

Our mission

Make every banking interaction secure, verified and intelligent — without slowing the customer down. We turn AI into something a regulated institution can actually deploy: auditable, role-aware, human-in-the-loop.

  • Secure by default, fast by design
  • Built with bank engineering teams, not against them
  • Africa-first deployment, global-grade posture

Security & compliance posture

Board-level controls baked into the platform — engineered to pass CBK, SASRA and enterprise security reviews.

  • TLS 1.2+ in transit · AES-256 at rest
  • RBAC, least-privilege & SSO ready
  • Cloudflare WAF, bot management & DDoS edge
  • Immutable audit trails on every privileged action
