350+ COMPLIANCE & DIGITAL ASSET TEAMS TRUST US
South Africa is emerging as a leader in crypto regulation on the African continent, combining innovation with security through its evolving regulatory framework. With oversight from the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) and other key agencies, the country is shaping its crypto landscape for growth and investor protection. Let’s explore how these regulations impact your business and how Scorechain.com can help you navigate them seamlessly.
In 2023, South Africa officially recognized crypto assets as financial products under the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services (FAIS) Act. This requires all Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) to register with the FSCA and comply with strict anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) regulations. These measures ensure market transparency and protect investors.
Scorechain simplifies AML compliance with tools tailored to crypto businesses. From real-time transaction monitoring and risk scoring to automated reporting, we help you meet FSCA’s requirements efficiently and effectively.
South Africa aligns with international standards, implementing the Travel Rule for transactions exceeding ZAR 25,000 (approximately USD 1,500). VASPs must collect and share information about the sender and receiver, including names, account numbers, and identification details, to promote transparency and combat financial crimes.
Scorechain offers integrated solutions for seamless Travel Rule compliance. Our platform ensures secure data sharing, adherence to South Africa’s regulations, and alignment with global standards, helping you build trust and simplify compliance.
South Africa has introduced stringent reporting requirements for crypto businesses, including reporting of suspicious transactions and adherence to Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols. The FSCA is also exploring regulations for crypto derivatives and over-the-counter (OTC) trading to align with international practices.
Scorechain’s advanced reporting tools generate compliant reports in seconds. Whether your business handles OTC derivatives, large transactions, or suspicious activity monitoring, our platform keeps you ahead of regulatory deadlines while streamlining your operations.
