We ensure the prompt publication of liquidation amounts received from the collections and SAM teams, thereby maintaining effective management of our non-performing loans (NPLs). Promptly correct accounts that were inaccurately recorded and subsequently approved for adjustment by credit administration, business banking, and consumer banking teams. Promptly report any suspicious transactions, applications, or risk-related events in accordance with established procedures.

Expert Application Advice

Show how you delivered Excel in a real project. At NMB Bank, hiring managers look for proof, not promises—give a 2-line result with numbers or impact.

Commercial banking — Banks conduct thorough background checks. Ensure your references are reachable and briefed. Knowledge of local banking regulations (COBAC/BCEAO) is often a final-round eliminator.

Technical leadership — Prepare an example of an architectural decision you made, with constraints (budget, timeline, team) and outcomes. African CTOs look for someone who managed real complexity, not just knows the theory.

🎯 Make your application ATS-ready

ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the software recruiters use to automatically filter CVs before any human reads them. Our CV builder is specifically designed to pass these filters — and it takes under 3 minutes.
