KYC & Compliance

Know Your Customer Consulting

We design and implement KYC frameworks for FinTech companies, crypto platforms, and financial service providers operating across Africa and beyond.

KYC Services

KYC Framework Design

We build end-to-end KYC policies, customer due diligence (CDD) procedures, and enhanced due diligence (EDD) frameworks tailored to your business model and regulatory environment.

Vendor Selection

We evaluate and recommend KYC technology vendors — biometric verification, document scanning, liveness detection, and database screening — matched to your risk appetite and budget.

Implementation Support

We oversee the technical integration of your chosen KYC vendor, staff training, and go-live testing to ensure your onboarding flow is compliant from day one.

Who We Work With

  • Crypto exchanges and VASP applicants
  • FSP licence applicants (CAT I–IV)
  • FinTech startups onboarding retail customers
  • Remittance and payment platforms
  • Digital lenders and BNPL providers
  • Neobanks and e-money institutions

Regulatory Context

South Africa's Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA) requires all accountable institutions to implement risk-based customer due diligence. The FSCA and SARB actively supervise compliance. For crypto businesses, the Travel Rule (FATF Recommendation 16) adds additional obligations for virtual asset transfers. Getting KYC right from the start avoids costly remediation later.
