For Bank of Zambia–designated payment service providers

Compliance that runs itself, built for Zambia’s PSPs.

GeePay watches wallet and agent activity against BoZ limits and FIC rules, keeps sanctions lists current, drafts goAML reports from closed cases and chases every BoZ, FIC and NATC filing before it falls due. Your compliance team reviews and decides; the platform does the rest.

What runs without anyone pressing a button

Six jobs the platform does on its own, every day. People step in only where a decision is needed.

A filing calendar that chases itself

Every BoZ, FIC and NATC filing is projected onto one calendar — daily, monthly, quarterly and annual — with the due dates worked out for you.

  • Reminders 30, 14, 7, 3 and 1 day before, on the day and when overdue — plus 5 days out on FIC AML filings
  • Mark a filing done with its reference and its reminders stop
  • One morning digest email to the compliance team, not one email per item
  • Escalates to the manager at 7 days overdue and to the CRO at 14

Transaction monitoring tuned for PSPs

6 PSP rules run over wallet, agent and cross-border activity and raise alerts with the evidence attached.

  • Limits checked across all of a customer’s wallets, not one wallet at a time
  • Agent structuring, fan-in, fan-out and rapid cash-out patterns
  • Thresholds you can tune for your institution
  • Applied to PSP, telecom and money-transfer customers
  • Plus seven general rules, machine-learning scoring and the FATF high-risk country lists

Sanctions screening that fails safe

UN lists refresh every 6 hours and OpenSanctions — OFAC, EU, UK and more — every 12.

  • Screen at onboarding, on transactions or the whole book in a batch — and again automatically when the UN or FIC lists change
  • Adverse-media checks alongside list screening
  • If the lists can’t be searched, screening stops — nobody is cleared by default
  • A confirmed match opens a freeze record with its 16-hour clock and drafts the NATC report
  • A screening report for the file: the lists matched, biography and close associates

Cases with four-eyes built in

Alerts become cases. An analyst recommends a disposition; a different reviewer closes it.

  • Four-eyes enforced by the system, not by policy alone
  • An STR disposition drafts the goAML report, validated against the schema
  • The 3-working-day STR clock runs on the case, with Zambian public holidays counted
  • Currency transaction reports drafted daily for cash of USD 10,000 (K250,000) or more, single or linked
  • A full timeline of every action on the case

Risk controls that react to breaches

When a key risk indicator breaches, GeePay opens a risk and control self-assessment, recommends controls and notifies the owner.

  • 39 risk indicators, 44 control indicators and a 50-risk PSP register ready to use
  • Open breaches re-alerted once a day until resolved
  • Overdue assessments escalate automatically
  • Evidence linked to the control it proves
  • Operational losses recorded against the Basel II event types

The rulebook, on file

248 Acts, statutory instruments, directives, circulars, rulebooks, guidelines and forms from 11 authorities, each with a SHA-256 checksum.

  • Linked to the obligations they create
  • Reporting catalogues for every authority a PSP answers to
  • Each obligation with its responsible officer, its filings and its source documents in one place
  • Conditional duties — critical information infrastructure, government tenders — switched on only when they apply
PSP sector response

The rulebook, mapped to what GeePay does

What a BoZ-designated payment service provider owes each authority, the deadline or threshold that comes with it, and the automation behind it. All payment-system returns go to the Bank of Zambia through the DFS portal, mandatory since May 2021 — late or incorrect returns cost K500 per return per day.

Authority Obligation Deadline or threshold What GeePay does
BoZ E-money transaction and balance limits (PSB Circular 01/2020) Tier 1: K20,000 a day, K100,000 balance · Tier 2: K100,000 a day, K500,000 balance Wallet-limit rule checks each customer against their KYC tier, across all their wallets

Detection rules

Six rules written for how PSP money moves

Built on BoZ limits and FIC thresholds, around the channels that carry the most money-laundering risk in the sector: agents, cross-border transfers and cash.

Wallet limit breach

Daily value or balance above the customer’s KYC-tier limit, summed across every wallet they hold.

Tier 1: K20,000 a day · Tier 2: K100,000 a day

Agent structuring

Cash-in or cash-out split across several agents to stay under the limits.

3 or more agents, K20,000 or more within 24 hours

Fan-in

Many different senders paying one customer — the shape of a collection or mule account.

10 or more senders, K50,000 or more within 24 hours

Fan-out

One customer paying many different recipients — the shape of a distribution network.

10 or more recipients, K50,000 or more within 24 hours

Rapid cash-out

An electronic receipt taken out as cash at an agent soon after it lands. Higher severity when international or within 30 minutes.

Receipts of K5,000 or more, cashed out within 2 hours

Incomplete wire information

Cross-border transfers at or above the FIC threshold with originator or beneficiary details missing.

USD 1,000 or more

Thresholds shown are the defaults; each institution tunes its own. Alongside them run seven general rules — structuring, velocity, round-tripping, dormant-account reactivation and more — machine-learning scoring, and the FATF high-risk country lists, kept to the latest plenary. Connect your e-money platform’s transaction feed through GeePay’s ingest API and they run from day one.

How it works
