Detect fraud
before it happens — in real time.

Tazama is an open-source, real-time transaction-monitoring platform that helps financial institutions and payment ecosystems detect fraud and associated money-laundering typologies, reduce false positives, and act instantly.

New in Tazama 4.0.0:

  • Take an alert to a closed case without leaving Tazama
  • Connect a new data feed without writing code
  • Test a rule against past transactions before it goes live
  • See which rules catch fraud and which waste your investigators’ time

Tazama Presentation

A complete real-time fraud and AML detection ecosystem

Key capabilities:

1.Real-time detection engine

Rules-based monitoring evaluates each transaction using current event data and historical participant behavior, then combines results into typologies with configurable thresholds.

2.Fast integration & low-code rules

Ingest and map any message format using Connection Studio and DEMS, then build rules using the low-code Rule Studio for rapid deployment.

3. AI that reduces false positives

AI recommends new rules, improves parameter calibration, optimizes thresholds, and prioritizes alerts to reduce manual workload.

4. Investigation & analytics-ready

End-to-end case management plus analytics and reporting built on JupyterLab to support investigations, operational reporting, and data science.
