<p><i>South Africa has updated its national regulations concerning cryptocurrencies and cryptocurrency traders. As one of the largest cryptocurrency economies in Africa, find out how this impacts the trading of crypto in South Africa.&nbsp;</i></p><h2><b>The South African Crypto Market – A Haven for Scams and Financial Crime?&nbsp;</b></h2><p>According to a 2022 study by Coin Journal, South Africa is one of the largest and fastest-growing crypto economies in Africa – the country is home to 59 crypto start-ups and approximately 12.4% of the population owns crypto.&nbsp;</p><p>However, South Africa has high rates of financial crime in general and has also been home to several massive crypto scams. Mirror Trading International (MTI), the South African company responsible for the largest and most costly cryptocurrency pyramid scheme of 2020, was recently slapped with a R64 billion fine.&nbsp;</p><p>In light of these high rates of financial crime associated with crypto, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 2022 called for greater cryptocurrency regulation and criticised South Africa for being&nbsp;</p><p>Two years later, in October 2022, South Africa’s financial watchdog classified crypto assets as financial products, thereby enabling them to be regulated.&nbsp;</p><p>Now, roughly seven months later, cryptocurrencies and cryptocurrency traders are being hit with new regulatory compliance obligations.&nbsp;</p><h2><b>New Compliance Regulations – How Does This Impact Crypto Trading?&nbsp;</b></h2><p>The new regulations mean that cryptocurrency assets have been classified as financial products under the Financial Advisory and Intermediary Services (FAIS) Act, which means that they are subject to the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA).&nbsp;</p><p>In short, FICA establishes a range of obligations for identity verification and data validation checks in line with risk assessment and due diligence regulatory guidelines.&nbsp;</p><p>According to CoinDesk, one of the most significant challenges for cryptocurrency trading&nbsp;</p><p>Failure to comply with these new regulations could mean a fine of up to 500,000 USD and/or a prison sentence of up to&nbsp;</p><h2><b>How Can Businesses Ensure Regulatory Compliance?&nbsp;</b></h2><p>The new regulations place several new compliance obligations on CASPs.

These exceptions include:&nbsp;</p><ul><li>Individuals involved in mining and operating nodes support blockchain activities without direct interaction with consumers.</li><li>Service providers dealing with non-fungible tokens (NFTs) offer unique assets generated by specific code. While NFTs can be traded, the regulatory authority views them as posing lower risks compared to fungible tokens. There is ongoing discussion on whether NFTs should be considered as crypto assets and subject to licensing requirements in the upcoming revision of the FAIS Act.</li><li>Entities offering financial services related to crypto asset derivatives, which are classified as securities according to the Financial Markets Act (FMA), must either hold a license under the FAIS or adhere to the regulations outlined in the FMA.</li></ul><p>A newly regulated industry in South Africa, the new legislation has wide-ranging implications for South Africa’s well-developed cryptocurrency economy.

Update: Crypto Traders Are Now Accountable Institutions and Subject to FICA

<h2><b>FICA legislation – New Due Diligence Requirements for Businesses&nbsp;</b></h2><p>On the 29th of November 2022, Schedule 1 of the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA) was amended. FICA requires businesses that are designated as Accountable Institutions (AIs) to comply with a wide range of regulatory requirements that cover due diligence, identity verification, sanction screening, record-keeping, reporting of information to the Financial Intelligence Centre, and internal compliance governance.&nbsp;</p><p>The recent revisions to the Act have broadened the definition of Accountable Institutions (AI). This means that some businesses now have legal obligations for due diligence checks. If they don’t, they face the threat of massive fines.&nbsp;</p><p>In light of these legislative changes, ThisIsMe has drastically reduced our pricing on several key solutions. This makes vital services more affordable so that a greater variety of businesses can ensure their FICA compliance with ease.&nbsp;</p><p>In addition to the revised FICA legislation, South Africa’s greylisting at the start of 2023 has further increased the pressure on businesses to ensure regulatory compliance.&nbsp;</p><h2><b>Drastically Reduced Barrier to Entry for Key Sanctions Checks and PEP/DPIP &amp; FPPO Checks</b></h2><p>Given how crucial AML screening has become with SA's recent greylisting and updated accountable institution legislation, ThisIsMe has drastically reduced the barrier to entry of key PEP/DPIP &amp; FPPO checks.&nbsp;</p><p><b>Pricing on PEP/DPIP &amp; FPPO Checks has been reduced by up to 50%.</b>&nbsp;</p><p>Our more affordable pricing range means that a greater number of businesses now have access to the due diligence checks that are essential for ensuring transactional security and maintaining regulatory compliance.&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: 0.8125rem;">These price reductions make ThisIsMe’s solutions some of the most affordable, reliable and efficient in South Africa.&nbsp;</span><br></p><h2><b>What Are Sanction Checks?&nbsp;</b></h2><p>“Sanction” is a broad term that refers to penalties imposed upon an individual, entity or country as punishment. Typically, sanctions will be imposed for reasons such as the violation of internationally acclaimed standards, the abuse of human rights, or the infringement of the laws to protect the legal financial system. However, sanctions may also be imposed for a wide variety of political, social and economic reasons.</p><p><span style="font-size: 0.8125rem;">If a business does not complete sanction checks, that business puts itself in danger of actively breaching sanctions law. This has the potential to be devastating for several reasons, including financial and legal penalties, reputational damage, and being the target of sanctions oneself.&nbsp;</span><br></p><h2><b>What are PEP, DPIP &amp; FPPO Checks?</b>&nbsp;</h2><p>A Politically Exposed Person (PEP) is a broad term that refers to individuals who currently hold or have held political power (e.g., a member of parliament or head of state).</p><p>Due to the interwoven nature of politics and private capital, governments and financial institutions worldwide agree that PEPs represent an increased money-laundering risk. This is because individuals who hold political power can abuse their power to engage in money laundering and other financial crimes like corruption, bribery, embezzlement and the financing of terrorism.&nbsp;</p><p>To account for this risk, national regulators ensure that PEPs and the various sub-categories of PEPs are subjected to Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) procedures designed to scrutinize the connections between a PEP’s political power and financial transactions.</p><p>A Domestic Prominent Influential Person (DPIP) is a type of Politically Exposed Person (PEP). In South Africa, the FIC defines a DPIP as follows:&nbsp;</p><blockquote>“A domestic prominent influential person is an individual who holds, (including in an acting position) for a period exceeding six months, or has held at any time in the preceding 12 months in South Africa, a prominent public function as listed in Schedule 3A of the FIC Act.” – FIC.</blockquote><p>A DPIP is different from a Foreign Prominent Public Official (FPPO). In South Africa, according to the Financial Intelligence Center, a FPPO is defined as:</p><blockquote>“A foreign prominent public official (FPPO) is an individual who holds, or has held at any time in the preceding 12 months, in a foreign country a prominent public function as listed in Schedule 3B of the FIC Act.” – FIC.</blockquote><p>In South Africa, Accountable Institutions of various classifications are required to check for PEP, DPIP and FPPO status in certain circumstances. The recent revisions to FICA legislation mean that a greater number of businesses will have to conduct these checks in a more diverse set of contexts.&nbsp;</p><p>Because of this, lowering the barrier to entry is essential in order for more businesses to have affordable access to the essential due diligence checks that are crucial for securing our economy and placing trust back in transactions.&nbsp;</p><h2><b>Sanction and PEP Checks and Identity Verification Services for South Africa</b>&nbsp;</h2><p><meta charset="UTF-8"></p><p>ThisIsMe is South Africa’s leading provider of digital tools for tasks like enhanced due diligence, KYC, customer due diligence, data validation and risk assessment.

ThisIsMe Drastically Lowers Barrier to Entry for Key PEP/DPIP & FPPO Checks

<p><i>Over the last decade, the FinTech and RegTech industries have revolutionized the effectiveness, cost, useability, availability and overall nature of AML/CFT regulatory compliance. Today, a wide selection of services empowers businesses to easily secure their transactions and ensure regulatory compliance, all without compromising customer experience – a contribution so significant that it has been recognized in a report by the global leader in AML/CFT legislation: the FATF.</i></p><h2><b>A Pervasive Threat – Money Laundering and Economic Crime&nbsp;</b></h2><p><a href="https://thisisme.com/resources/Anti-Money-Laundering" target="_blank">Money laundering</a> – the “cleaning” of criminal revenue to disguise its illegal source and facilitate its use in legitimate, everyday activities – has become a major concern for the vitality of our global financial system. A 2020 report by Deloitte estimated that money laundering makes up 2-5% of the global GDP, as much as $2 trillion. Pieter Alberts, senior operations manager at the Financial Intelligence Centre, said that South Africa is losing between $10 billion and $25 billion annually in illicit financial flows.&nbsp;</p><p>Although combating money laundering is a clear and urgent task, doing so in a way that does not undermine or harm businesses is equally important. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) – an intergovernmental organization and global leader in AML policy – published a report titled <a href="https://www.fatf-gafi.org/publications/fatfrecommendations/documents/opportunities-challenges-new-technologies-for-aml-cft.html" target="_blank">Opportunities and Challenges of New Technologies for AML/CFT</a>. By discussing the opportunities for revolutionary AML/CFT programs offered by new technologies, the FATF’s report examines how the Fintech, Regtech and Suptech industries are driving revolutionary new approaches to <a href="https://thisisme.com/resources/AML-CFT-Regulations" target="_blank">AML/CFT compliance</a>.&nbsp;</p><h2><b>Boosting AML/CFT Compliance Effectiveness &nbsp;</b></h2><p>The FATF’s report included a survey that examined how new technologies are being developed and deployed for AML/CFT. Commenting on the results of their Digital Transformation questionnaire, the FAFT noted that…</p><blockquote>“85% of respondents agree that AML/CFT effectiveness in general is the most significant benefit of the use of new technologies…Respondents declared speed, flexibility, capability and better governance as the outcomes of new technologies contributing to greater AML/CFT effectiveness.”</blockquote><p>Respondents also noted that new technologies can significantly reduce the costs associated with effective AML/CFT programs – a factor that greatly increases AML/CFT effectiveness by providing stakeholders with better, more accessible tools for less money.</p><p>For developing economies in which businesses typically have less capital to devote to security and regulatory compliance (like in South Africa), reduced costs are vital for enabling the widespread adoption of effective AML/CFT programs. Since 2009, South Africa’s incident rate for economic crime has been, on average, 27 percentage points higher than the global average.<sup>1</sup> In 2020, South Africa was tied with China for the country with the highest reported incident rate of economic crime. &nbsp;To secure South Africa’s economy, the widespread adoption of AML/CFT programs is essential.&nbsp;</p><p>However, in 2020, the FATF released a <a href="https://thisisme.com/insights/SA-AML-Policy-is-Deficient-Financial-Action-Task-Force" target="_blank">report evaluating South Africa’s AML/CFT regulatory system</a>. The report identified several critical weaknesses, one of which was a discrepant focus on AML controls. Although many of SA’s larger Financial Institutions (FIs) were focused on creating and maintaining effective AML/CFT regimes, many smaller FIs were only focused on meeting the minimum requirements for regulatory compliance. Although this is understandable because smaller FIs do not have the same resources as major banks, innovation and the creation of new cost-effective technologies will continue to close this resource gap. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><blockquote>“New technologies have the potential to make anti-money laundering (AML) and counter terrorist financing measures (CFT) faster, cheaper, and more effective. They can improve the implementation of FATF Standards to advance global AML/CFT efforts, ensure financial inclusion and avoid unintended consequences such as financial exclusion.”</blockquote><p>As South Africa’s economy grows and becomes increasingly digitalized, innovation from the RegTech, Fintech and Suptech industries will be central in provisioning more accessible AML/CFT services and promoting their widespread adoption. &nbsp;</p><h2><b>The Transformation of FICA Compliance&nbsp;</b></h2><p>Efforts to combat economic crime and close the net on money laundering have led to a web of compliance obligations, many of which negatively affected customer experience. South Africa’s Financial Intelligence Center Amendment Act (FICA) is a perfect example. Although necessary to help secure South Africa’s economy and protect businesses and consumers from economic crime, FICA compliance quickly became a notoriously laborious process.&nbsp;</p><p>Initially, FICA compliance cost businesses time and money by forcing them to engage in inefficient and lengthy administration that consumed human resources. The labour-intensive process of ensuring compliance also contained many moving parts that rendered it vulnerable to non-compliance or fraud. For customers, FICA compliance entailed complex paperwork and time wasted standing in a bank queue.&nbsp;</p><p>In 2017, ThisIsMe transformed the South African RegTech industry by cutting FICA compliance down from two weeks down to three minutes – an achievement that got the company featured as one of the Emerging 50 Rising Stars on 2018’s FINTECH100 list.&nbsp;</p><p>The transformation of FICA compliance – enabled by new technologies – allowed businesses to save time and money and ensure the highest levels of AML/CFT compliance, while consumers benefited from easier documentation provision and near-instantaneous <a href="https://thisisme.com/resources/identity-verification" target="_blank">identity verification</a>.&nbsp;</p><h2><b>Streamlining Compliance, Boosting Efficiency and Optimising Data Analysis Using APIs</b></h2><p>An <a href="https://thisisme.com/resources/application-programming-interface" target="_blank">Application Programming Interface (API)</a> is a type of software that allows different applications to connect and communicate. APIs have immense utility within AML/CFT programs, due mainly to their immense flexibility. APIs can be used to streamline compliance routines by connecting customer identification software to monitoring tools, or integrate <a href="https://thisisme.com/resources/risk-assessment" target="_blank">risk assessment</a> tools with customer risk profiles to quickly generate risk profiles.&nbsp;</p><blockquote><p>“Respondents to the Digital Transformation questionnaire mentioned APIs among the most used and relevant solutions to the identified money laundering and terrorist financing problems.”</p></blockquote><p>Tasks that require the processing of large data sets – such as <a href="https://thisisme.com/resources/risk-assessment" target="_blank">risk assessments and analysis</a>, <a href="https://thisisme.com/resources/customer-due-diligence-ccd" target="_blank">customer due diligence</a>, and transaction monitoring – can all benefit significantly from new AML/CFT technologies like APIs. &nbsp;</p><blockquote>“APIs allow integration to happen much more quickly and with much larger datasets. This is particularly relevant as one of the most difficult challenges for many financial institutions is the integration of many different and often incompatible systems, including legacy technologies and specialised tools, created by different developers.”</blockquote><p>By streamlining administration and freeing up human resources, technologies like APIs have addressed the labour-intensive process of regulatory compliance that originally plagued FICA compliance.&nbsp;</p><h2><b>The Road Forward – Public and Private Sector Cooperation&nbsp;</b></h2><p>Cooperation has thus far paved the way for widespread innovation and the transformation of AML/CFT compliance.&nbsp;</p><blockquote>“Increased communication and cooperation between the public and private sector, informed by the type of information and analysis provided by this report, together with an emphasis on responsible adoption of new technologies and effectiveness, in particular with regard to data protection regulations, will be key to overcoming these challenges and fully realizing the promise of responsible innovation to strengthen the effectiveness of AML/CFT measures."</blockquote><p>By combining public sector legislation with private sector technological innovation, South Africa has been able to modernize its economy and actively move towards a secure economy based on transactional security. Today, businesses no longer have to choose between lower costs, improved efficiency, and world-class customer experience. When ensuring regulatory compliance, businesses can have their cake and eat it too.&nbsp;</p><h2><b>Enhanced Due Diligence, KYC and Identity Verification Services South Africa</b></h2><p><meta charset="utf-8"></p><p>As South Africa’s leading provider of world-class due diligence and remote-onboarding solutions, ThisIsMe is proud to be at the forefront of a trust-based and privacy-compliant digital world.
