FICA and broader AML/CTF-related advice and support
We are increasingly seeing FICA considerations arise across a wide range of mandates — including corporate transactions, commercial arrangements, outsourcing structures and new product offerings. Early involvement in these aspects is often critical to ensuring that advice remains both commercially sound and regulatorily robust.
Please contact Eben Smit and Phetha Mchunu when FICA-related matters arise, including:
- FICA applicability and accountable institution analysis;
- Customer due diligence, KYC and onboarding frameworks;
- AML/CFT compliance frameworks, including RMCPs; and
- Engagements involving the Financial Intelligence Centre or related regulators.
The team is well placed to support both distinct queries and broader transactional or advisory mandates.
