Finding

A genuine South African FAIS Category I licence: authorisation to ADVISE on and act as an INTERMEDIARY for forex and derivative products. It is not a dealer or market-maker licence, and it is held by the South African entity, not the offshore company that holds client funds. Client protection: Moderate conduct oversight in South Africa only; no deposit protection for the offshore entity that onboards clients. Effective: 17 Oct 2023.

FSCA is classed as an offshore regime. An offshore registration can be entirely legitimate, but it typically means lower capital requirements, no compensation scheme, and a complaint route that is harder to use from abroad.
