AML compliance software for Tanzania's reporting institutions.
Sanctions and PEP screening, transaction monitoring, customer risk rating, case management and reporting to the Financial Intelligence Unit through goAML, in one analyst workspace for reporting persons under Tanzania's Anti-Money Laundering Act.
Built for the Anti-Money Laundering Act and the Financial Intelligence Unit.
Tanzania's Anti-Money Laundering Act (Cap. 423, Revised Edition 2023), its regulations and FIU guidance set out what a reporting person has to do. Each duty maps to a module, so the evidence sits where an examiner will look for it.
Identify customers and rate their risk
Six-factor customer risk rating across country, industry, product, channel, behaviour and PEP/sanctions exposure, with four-eyes overrides, plus a beneficial-owner graph for legal-entity customers.
Apply enhanced due diligence to PEPs and higher-risk customers
An EDD workflow inside case management, with periodic reviews scheduled automatically by risk band so a high-risk file does not go stale.
Screen customers against sanctions lists and PEP data
Multi-script, locale-aware matching against lists synced from providers such as Dow Jones and World-Check, plus manual upload for lists you maintain yourself, with versioned lists and freshness dashboards.
Monitor transactions for suspicious activity
A rule engine running in batch and streaming, with typology-aligned starter rules, back-testing and versioned promotion, fed by REST, SFTP, Kafka, CDC or ISO 20022 connectors.
Report suspicious and cash transactions to the FIU
A draft, review, approve and submit lifecycle with acknowledgement handling. The goAML XML is generated and validated by the Creodata goAML Reporting Platform, with a manual download if the portal is down.
Keep records and show supervisors the evidence
An append-only audit log behind every decision, evidence packs for inspections, a read-only regulator portal, and an obligation registry that turns new guidance and amendments into tracked tasks.
This maps software capability to obligations; it is not legal advice. For registration and filing mechanics, see the Tanzania FIU goAML reporting guide.
For Tanzania's reporting institutions, whichever regulator supervises them.
The Act names the regulators, and section 26 makes the regulator or the FIU responsible for enforcing compliance.
The Bank of Tanzania, which also licenses Tier 2 microfinance service providers.
The Bank of Tanzania has delegated Tier 3 SACCOS to the Tanzania Cooperative Development Commission and Tier 4 to local government authorities; the Act names the Registrar of Cooperatives.
The Tanzania Insurance Regulatory Authority and the Capital Markets and Securities Authority.
The Gaming Board of Tanzania, the Tanganyika Law Society, the National Board of Accountants and Auditors and the other regulators named in the Act; otherwise the FIU.
Frequently asked questions.
Does the software report to the FIU?
Yes, through goAML. Suspicious and threshold transaction reports move through a draft, review, approve and submit lifecycle in the AML software, with retry, reconciliation and acknowledgement handling. The Creodata goAML Reporting Platform then generates and validates the goAML file for the FIU's portal, and a manual download is available if the portal is down.
How quickly must a Tanzanian reporting person file a suspicious transaction report?
Within 24 hours after forming the suspicion, and where possible before the transaction, under section 18(1) of the Anti-Money Laundering Act, Cap. 423 (R.E. 2023). The 2022 Regulations refer to 24 working hours, but the Act's stricter clock should govern.
What are Tanzania's cash and electronic transfer reporting thresholds?
Currency transactions of USD 10,000 or more, or the equivalent, and electronic funds transfers of USD 1,000 or more, converted at the Bank of Tanzania rate at the time of the transaction. Related transactions within 24 hours that together reach USD 10,000 count as one. Reports are due within 5 working days under the 2019 Electronic Funds Transfer and Cash Transaction Reporting Regulations.
Can we run the software on-premises in Tanzania?
Yes. The on-premises edition runs on your own Kubernetes cluster with Postgres 16, RabbitMQ, MinIO, OpenSearch and Keycloak, and has the same features as the Microsoft Azure edition, so an institution that must keep data in its own data centre is not running a lesser product.
