South Africa will shortly be introducing a licensing regime and enhanced AML/CFT regulation for Virtual Asset Services Providers (VASPs).
We can assist you with all your preparations
- Ensuring that you have an appropriate RMCP in place that addresses all the necessary legislation in place and the new proposals from the FATF.
- Ensuring you have a robust EDD process in place to to check prospective clients against all required checklists.
- Ensuring that progress made by the FSCA in respect of Crypto licensing is conveyed to you timeously and that you are prepared when crypto-licensing begins.
Tightening AML/CFT regulation and enforcement to DeFi and Cryptocurrency Industry is an inevitable general trend. The sooner the Virtual Asset Service Providers adopt measures to comply with the expected inaugural AML/CFT regulations, the better and more well-prepared they will be for the compliance procedures and controls.
It is not a matter of whether it would happen, but when it would happen. VASPs would want to keep running and growing your business smoothly, the day the regulations finally come live.
