Tazama is committed to improving lives and making the world a better place.
The word tazama comes from Swahili and translates to “take a look.” The logo’s leaf graphic is from the Neem tree, which is said to boost immunity and prevent infection due to its antibacterial and antifungal properties.
Simply put, that’s what we do. Our state-of-the-art software looks at financial transactions and prevents infection from fraud and scams.
Our Mission
Our mission is to support individuals, businesses, organizations, and financial institutions in emerging regions of the world by providing tools to execute transactions safely and expediently with minimized risk and in compliance with all regional and global rules and regulations. Utilizing the Open-Source community, we work with you to build anti-financial crime ecosystems and build trust in digital transactions.
Tazama fits within your anti-financial crime framework to improve the overall effectiveness of your financial crime prevention strategy.
- Seamless Integration: By working with local and regional system integrator partners, or your internal development teams, we can seamlessly integrate Tazama into your existing financial crime framework.
- Fraud Prevention and Detection: We provide our customers with advanced algorithms, behavioral analysis, and rules based on typologies to identify fraudulent transactions.
- Scalability: We work with financial service providers of all sizes, from small providers to national payment switches.
Advocacy
Tazama is at the forefront of policy and regulation. Our team is proactive in working with policymakers, industry leaders, and financial service providers to promote an environment that is effective in preventing and detecting activities that could involve money laundering, fraud, or other financial crimes.
Our advocacy work is carried out in two key areas:
- Financial Crime Compliance: We help your organization meet local and global regulatory and financial compliance standards.
- Policy Development: We advocate for robust policy frameworks to ensure a level-playing field, particularly for underserved and emerging markets.
Our knowledgeable team employs best practices in these disciplines to ensure there are no gaps in compliance. Our advocacy work is to help you build robust Financial Risk Management Systems (FRMS) in regions that don’t have the resources.
