Directors and Key Individuals
The founders are recognised by the FSCA as FAIS “Fit & Proper” Key Individuals and Representatives (RE1, RE3, RE5) with all the necessary requirements expected of a financial service provider (Cat 1 & 11), noting our other regulated companies (FSPs: 47701 and 50850) and SARB approved foreign exchange intermediary (6176), working with our Authorised Dealers (Mercantile and Investec Bank).
For the circumstances of “unregulated cryptocurrencies”, we provide a FOREX intermediary service, with zero financial advice, within the framework of the FSCA, SARB and Currency and Exchanges Act, in anticipation of the imminent regulation of the crypto-landscape that will likely see CASP’s (Crypto Asset Service Providers) adhering to the FAIS Act like other traditional FSP’s.
