FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE CENTRE ACT: MORE SECTIONS IN FORCE SOON
- 05 June 2026
- New Legislation
- SA Legal Academy
According to a recently gazetted presidential proclamation, four more sections of the 2001 Financial Intelligence Centre Act are scheduled to come into effect on 1 July 2026. This appears to suggest that the entire Act, as amended, could well become fully operational on that date.
The proclamation lists the following imminently effective provisions:
- section 30 (cash or bearer negotiable instrument conveyance to or from South Africa, focusing on reporting obligations)
- sections 54 and 55 (making it an offence not to report the conveyance of cash or bearer negotiable instruments into or out of South Africa), and
- section 70 (related search, seizure and forfeiture powers).
