Last updated: 27 February 2026
This Anti-Money Laundering ("AML") and Counter-Terrorism Financing ("CTF") Policy applies to all services provided through the Payskript platform and other digital services operated by Alkimify companies. We are committed to preventing our platform from being used for money laundering, terrorist financing, or other financial crimes.
Payskript is a trading name of Alkimify LTD, registered in England and Wales; and Alkimify SARL, registered in Republic of Cameroon. Each entity complies with the AML/CTF laws and regulations of its respective jurisdiction.
1. Regulatory Framework
Our AML/CTF programme is designed to comply with:

- Cameroon: CEMAC Regulation No. 01/03-CEMAC-UMAC on the Prevention and Repression of Money Laundering; and COBAC regulations applicable to financial service providers.
- International standards: Recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
2. Know Your Customer (KYC)
Payskript operates a risk-based KYC programme to verify the identity of its users. Our verification process includes:
2.1 Basic Verification (Tier 1)
Required for all users at registration:
- Phone number verification via SMS OTP.

3. Transaction Monitoring
We continuously monitor transactions on the Platform to detect suspicious activity. Our monitoring systems flag:
- Transactions that are unusually large or inconsistent with the user's profile.
- Rapid successive transactions suggesting structuring or layering.
- Transactions involving high-risk jurisdictions.
- Patterns indicative of fraud, including multiple accounts controlled by a single individual.
- Escrow deals that are created and cancelled repeatedly without completion.
4. Suspicious Activity Reporting
When we identify suspicious activity, we take the following steps:
- The transaction and/or account may be frozen pending investigation.
- In the UK: A Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) is filed with the National Crime Agency (NCA).
- In Cameroon: A suspicious transaction report is filed with the National Financial Investigation Agency (ANIF).
- We are legally prohibited from informing the user that a report has been filed ("tipping off").
5. Sanctions Screening
All users are screened against applicable sanctions lists at registration, during KYC verification, and on an ongoing basis. These include:
- UK HM Treasury sanctions list.
- UN Security Council consolidated sanctions list.
- EU sanctions list (where applicable).
- OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list.
Users identified on any sanctions list will be denied access to the Platform, and relevant authorities will be notified.
