What is the Ontech Risk & Compliance Suite (ERMAML)?
ERMAML is enterprise risk management and AML/CFT compliance software developed by Ontech Solutions in Lusaka. One platform holds the risk register, RCSA and KRIs alongside sanctions and PEP screening, KYC, transaction monitoring, case management and goAML STR/CTR reporting, with identity verification against the NRC, PACRA and ZRA registries.
Who is it for?
Regulated institutions in Zambia: banks, microfinance institutions, insurers, pension funds and administrators, telecoms and mobile-money operators, money-transfer businesses, energy companies and public bodies. Role-based access scoped by branch lets a single office or a multi-branch network use the same platform.
Which sanctions and PEP lists does it screen against?
Screening runs against a locally synced watchlist built from the UN Security Council Consolidated List, OFAC, EU and UK lists and the OpenSanctions dataset, plus the FIC PEP list and adverse-media sources. Matching is fuzzy and transliteration-aware, and false matches go to a four-eyes review queue with a reusable whitelist.
Can it prepare STRs and CTRs for the Financial Intelligence Centre?
Yes. Alerts become cases, cases are dispositioned under maker-checker review, and a suspicious or currency transaction report is drafted in the goAML schema from the case data, ready for submission through the FIC's goAML portal.
Does it verify identities against Zambian registries?
Yes. NRC details are checked against the national registry, companies against PACRA, and taxpayers against the ZRA registry, at onboarding and at screening time, with duplicate-TPIN detection and an identity-misuse flag that forces manual review.
Where is the platform hosted?
The hosted service runs in Infratel's Tier III data centre in Lusaka, so customer data stays in Zambia. Ontech Solutions is a registered data controller (certificate DP000394). On-premises deployment on an institution's own infrastructure is also available.
