MONEY LAUNDERING & TERRORIST FINANCING: FICA CONTROL REGULATIONS AMENDED
- 12 June 2026
- National Treasury
- SA Legal Academy
National Treasury has gazetted amendments to regulations in place since December 2002 under the 2001 Financial Intelligence Centre Act. Released in April 2024 for public comment, changes proposed at the time sought to introduce ‘tracing mechanisms’ with the aim of addressing the ‘potential money laundering and terrorist financing vulnerabilities’ posed by cross-border movements of cash or bearer negotiable instruments’. An SA Legal Academy report on these proposals includes a link to the explanatory memorandum concerned.
The final amendments appear to be immediately effective. They should not be confused with draft regulations released in April 2026 under the 1933 Currency & Exchanges Act, with a call for comments. A link to the SA Legal Academy report on those draft regulations is provided below.
