FSP licence with crypto asset authorisation in South Africa

About This Company

Incorporated in 2018, this South African company holds an FSP licence with crypto asset authorisation (Category I). Official licensing documentation describes it as Authorisation as a Financial Services Provider (FSP licence) under the FAIS Act with product category 'Crypto Assets' (Category I advice/intermediary; Category II discretionary where granted). That corporate entity remains the direct holder of the regulatory permission when equity transfers between shareholders. The statutory framework rests upon the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act 37 of 2002. Pretoria is the seat of the FSCA. Acting as South Africa's dedicated market-conduct regulator, the FSCA supervises customer treatment across banking, insurance, investment, retirement-fund and capital-markets sectors alongside the Prudential Authority under the Twin Peaks model. This licence type covers virtual asset exchange, virtual asset transfer, and virtual asset safekeeping. It remains purely domestic, so cross-border operations do not benefit from passporting mechanisms. Searching the public FSP register by entity name, licence number, or trading name lets the buyer view the licence status, licensed categories (I-IV), and representatives. Buyers verify these active register entries before completing the share acquisition. Legal counsel confirms that the corporate records match the regulatory filings held in Pretoria.
