Why Partner with Anqa Compliance#
Across Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and South East Asia, thousands of financial institutions and designated non-financial businesses and professions (DNFBPs) operate in environments where regulatory expectations are rising but accessible, affordable compliance technology has historically been scarce. Anqa Compliance was built to close that gap.
Our platform delivers eight integrated compliance modules — from KYC and digital onboarding through to sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, and case management — at a price point designed specifically for emerging markets, starting from $35 per month. We are not a scaled-down version of a Western enterprise product; we are built from the ground up for the institutions, regulators, and compliance professionals operating in these markets.
Partnership is central to how we grow. We do not rely solely on direct sales. We work with organisations that already have the trust, relationships, and regional expertise that we are still building. If your work touches AML, sanctions, financial crime compliance, or financial inclusion in these regions, there is likely a partnership model that makes sense for both of us.
Partnership Types#
Technology Partners#
We welcome integrations with fintechs, identity verification providers, data aggregators, credit bureaus, and other technology companies whose products complement the Anqa platform.
Technology partners typically work with us in one of two ways: through a direct API integration that embeds their data or functionality into the Anqa compliance workflow, or through a referral arrangement where each platform directs relevant prospects to the other. We maintain open, well-documented APIs and a technical team that is experienced in working with integration partners across multiple jurisdictions.
If your product enhances identity verification, enriches customer data, supports device fingerprinting, or covers any other element of the compliance lifecycle, we would be glad to explore how our platforms could work together.
Distribution Partners#
Distribution partners are the consultants, implementation firms, compliance advisors, and professional services organisations that serve regulated institutions in our target markets. They understand their clients’ compliance obligations, they are trusted to recommend and implement solutions, and they are ideally placed to introduce Anqa to the institutions that need it.
Distribution partners can operate in two ways: as referral partners, introducing clients to Anqa and earning a referral fee on successful subscriptions; or as implementation partners, deploying and configuring the Anqa platform on behalf of their clients and providing ongoing managed compliance services built around our technology.
We are particularly interested in distribution partners with established client bases in banking, microfinance, insurance, mobile money, foreign exchange, law, accountancy, real estate, and other sectors subject to AML regulation in Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, or South East Asia.
Training and Certification Partners#
Anqa Compliance produces free, practical AML and compliance training materials designed for financial institutions in emerging markets. These materials are available to partner organisations — professional associations, universities, compliance training providers, and industry bodies — who wish to use them with their own audiences.
Training partners may incorporate Anqa’s materials into their own programmes, co-develop new content with us for specific jurisdictions or sectors, or promote Anqa’s free training resources to their membership. We are also open to exploring co-branded certification programmes for compliance professionals operating in our target markets.
This type of partnership carries no financial commitment from the training partner. Our interest is in ensuring that compliance knowledge reaches as many practitioners as possible.
Regulatory and Development Partners#
We work with regulators, central banks, development finance institutions, and donor-funded programmes that are seeking to raise compliance standards across a jurisdiction, sector, or portfolio of investee institutions.
Regulatory and development partners typically use Anqa in one of the following ways: recommending or endorsing the platform to regulated entities as part of a supervisory or capacity-building programme; co-funding access for smaller institutions that could not otherwise afford compliance technology; or using Anqa’s data and reporting capabilities to support supervisory oversight across a regulated population.
We are experienced in working within the governance requirements of development finance and donor-funded programmes, and we welcome conversations with organisations working to improve financial integrity in emerging and frontier markets.
Partner Benefits#
Partners across all categories receive a structured set of benefits appropriate to their partnership type and tier. These include:
Commercial arrangements — Revenue share or referral fees for distribution and technology partners, paid on a transparent, predictable schedule.
Joint marketing — Co-branded content, case studies, and joint announcements. We actively promote our partners to our audience of compliance professionals and regulated institutions across Africa and Asia.
Early access — Partners are notified of new features and modules before general release and are invited to provide input during development.
Partner certification — Distribution and implementation partners can achieve Anqa Partner certification, which demonstrates verified expertise in deploying and configuring the platform.
Dedicated support — Partners receive priority access to the Anqa technical and compliance support teams, including a named partnerships contact.
Co-marketing materials — Access to the Anqa partner pack, which includes platform overview documents, API documentation summaries, a sample client presentation deck, brand guidelines, and the partnership agreement template.
What We Look for in a Partner#
We are selective about the partnerships we enter into, not because we are difficult to work with, but because the right partnerships require genuine alignment. We look for organisations that share our commitment to improving compliance standards in emerging markets — not simply those seeking a reseller arrangement.
Specifically, we look for:
Mission alignment — A genuine interest in raising financial crime compliance standards in the regions and sectors we serve, not merely a commercial opportunity.
Direct relationships — Partners should have existing, trusted relationships with regulated financial institutions or DNFBPs, or with the regulators and development organisations that work with them.
Professional credibility — We partner with organisations that are known and respected in their markets. This is particularly important for distribution and training partners, where our reputation is partly carried by theirs.
Geographic focus — We prioritise partnerships in Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and South East Asia, though we will consider partnerships in other regions where there is a clear relevance to our target markets.
How to Apply#
The partnership process is straightforward. It begins with a short introductory conversation rather than a lengthy application form.
The first step is to get in touch via the contact form on this page or by emailing partnerships@anqaaml.com. Please include a brief description of your organisation, the type of partnership you have in mind, and the markets or sectors you work in.
A member of our partnerships team will respond within two business days. If there appears to be a good fit, we will arrange an introductory call to discuss the opportunity in more detail. If both parties are satisfied that a partnership makes sense, we will share the partnership agreement and partner pack, and work towards a formal agreement.
We do not charge partnership application fees and there is no minimum revenue commitment for referral partners.
