August 28, 2025 — Tazama is proud to announce a new strategic partnership with Paysys Labs, a Karachi-based leader in secure and innovative payment solutions. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in strengthening digital financial ecosystems across emerging markets.
At the heart of this partnership is a shared mission: to make financial systems safer, more transparent, and more inclusive.
By combining Tazama’s real-time fraud and transaction monitoring technology with Paysys Labs’ deep expertise in digital payments, the two companies aim to empower financial institutions, regulators, and payment providers with the tools they need to stay ahead of fraud — and to stop it before it happens.
“We’re excited to partner with Paysys Labs, a company that shares our commitment to trust, innovation, and financial inclusion,” said Greg McCormick, Executive Director of Tazama. “Together, we’re building the foundations of safer digital economies, especially in regions where secure access to financial services can unlock massive potential.”
Founded in 2016, Paysys Labs has become a trusted fintech partner across multiple sectors. Their scalable, user-focused platforms power seamless digital interactions for millions of customers, expanding access to financial products and services. With a strong focus on security, efficiency, and innovation, Paysys Labs continues to lead the charge in digital transformation across South Asia and beyond.
“This partnership represents the kind of cross-border collaboration that emerging markets need,” said Karim Jindani, CEO of Paysys Labs. “We believe that real-time fraud detection is no longer a luxury — it’s a necessity. Together with Tazama, we’re equipping the financial sector with smarter, faster, and more reliable tools.”
“This isn’t just another partnership — it’s a movement,” said Azeem, CTO of Paysys Labs. “With Tazama’s open-source foundation and our expertise in payments, we’re proving that the most powerful fraud defense doesn’t have to be locked away in black-box systems. Emerging markets deserve world-class security that is transparent, collaborative, and built to scale. Open source unleashes innovation at a pace no single company can achieve alone. Together, we’re setting the stage for digital economies that are not only safer, but truly unstoppable.”
As the global fintech landscape continues to evolve, partnerships like this are key to building resilient and inclusive digital economies. This is just the beginning.
Stronger together. Safer together.
