Eiseb to head the Financial Intelligence Centre

Bryan Eiseb

Bank of Namibia director for exchange control and legal services Bryan Eiseb has been appointed as the new director for the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) effective 1 January 2024, FIC announced yesterday.

Eiseb will play a pivotal role in driving and coordinating the success of this new regime and future-proofing the FIC to meet the demands, FIC said.

FIC is Namibia’s national centre responsible for executing, among others, financial intelligence, anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorist and proliferation funding prevention and combating functions.

Eiseb, who is on a secondment at the Ministry of Mines and Energy until November, has a background in law enforcement and experience within the criminal justice system.

He chairs the Namib Desert Diamonds (Pty) Ltd (Namdia) as well as the Namibia Institute of Pathology board.

Eiseb’s LinkedIn profile also shows that he is the chairperson of Petrofund Namibia and the deputy chairperson of the Namibia Sovereign Wealth Fund Law Development Committee.

Eiseb holds an LLM (Corporate Law) from Unisa, in addition to LLB (Hons) and B Juris degrees from the University of Namibia, as well as a national diploma in police science from the Namibia University of Science and Technology.

He is also an admitted attorney of the High Court of the Republic of Namibia, and replaces former magistrate Leonie Dunn, who was appointed the second deputy governor of the Bank of Namibia in January last year.

FIC had been without a formal head since Dunn’s departure.

Eiseb was appointed by the Anti-Money Laundering and Combatting the Financing of Terrorist and Proliferation Council.
