FSP licence with crypto asset authorisation in South Africa

About This Company

Financial Sector Conduct Authority, headquartered in Pretoria, acts as the dedicated market-conduct regulator across South Africa. Operating alongside the Prudential Authority under the Twin Peaks model, the body supervises customer treatment across banking, insurance, investment, retirement-fund and capital-markets sectors. Its public register allows any buyer to verify an authorised provider by searching an entity name, FSP licence number, or trading name. That register entry displays the current licence status, licensed categories (I-IV), and appointed representatives. Regulatory oversight governs this Category I FSP licence pursuant to the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services Act 37 of 2002. Permitted activities cover virtual asset exchange, virtual asset transfer, and virtual asset safekeeping. This authorisation remains domestic and excludes cross-border passporting. A buyer must inspect the official Pretoria registry database to confirm that the company maintains an active status. Solvency filings and conduct records should be cross-checked directly with the authority before transaction documents are executed. Legal counsel examines supervisory notices held in Pretoria to confirm that no administrative enforcement interventions affect the target entity. Online register confirmation protects the acquisition process by identifying authorized product categories prior to signing.
